Attention Span - Serve The Task

I walk on familiar ground
My weakness grows with every single step
What I receive from what I've rightfully achieved
is a shock of degradation and pain

Why is this happening to me?
I must look it in the eye but I can't even see

Each action compromises each action which follows
The paradox of effort is eating itself and violently amplifying its feed right by my ear
Until it's all I hear

Now through laborious experience
I've seen the error of my ways
My focus has been poured into something destructive
Now a code is wired into my brain
with its purpose to remind me

Don't serve your ego
Serve the task
Serve the task that is at hand
If you fail you will not last
Don't be blinded and confused
Don't let your ego swallow you
Put your faith in humility

And with the presence of confidence
Attractiveness of ego-serving grows
No more initial pain
No more initial degradation
So the self is indulged in once again
Now I view the world through flaming eyes
Eyes of arrogance and insecurity
Blind in the flames I reach for the unreachable
My hand is severed as I am burned alive

Now I am right back where I started
The dual perspectives have restored perspective back in me
Never again will I sabotage my life
I will devote myself to the code that tells me

Don't serve your ego
Serve the task
Serve the task that is at hand
If you fail you will not last
Don't be blinded and confused
Don't let your ego swallow you
Put your faith in humility
