Feel My Pain - Warrior Medicine

CHOQUIZTLI MOTECA<CHOQUIZTLI MOTECA
(Sorrow Overflows, Sorrow Overflows)

I know Creator sees me behind these steel doors
As I cry to Mother Earth, with my face on the floor,
I feel like my spirit is in half, was torn,
Look into my eyes, you'll see that they are sore.

IXAYOTL PIXAHUI<IXZYOTL PIXAHUI
(Tears Fall, Tears Fall)

I am all cried out, don't wanna cry anymore
I just want my life back that I once adored
But if suffering's the reason I was born
Then, Creator, please prepare my spiritual war.

XOCHIYAOYOTL! XOCHIYOYOTL!
(Flowery War, Flowery War!)

Sometimes Creator breaks us down to build us back up. We go through phases of choquiztli mo moteca, which enters u into Ixayotl pixhui, the releasing of pains, physically. This is, in a sense, a purification of emotions which awakens your "xochiyoytl" spirit for spiritual war. A necessary war to find your balance. A'Ho! Love you, brother bear. Always be there to see you dance.
