A bottomless pit with no escape
All this done with my mouth left agape
Everything seems to fade away
Time freezes although the sand gradually moves again
It all seems so timeless
The is no adjusting to this mental state
What can be done in such a vulnerable state?
What can be done to find the light once again?
To emerge from the grave like any other day
Coming back to life to fulfill the promises I have made
All the goals I still have to achieve
All the people that are proud of me
I will not give into the oppression of the enemy
He will do anything to prevent you from finding the way
To become a greater threat to those that look down on you
I will do all I can do get out of this abyss even if it kills me
Stick and stones may break my bones
But determination runs through my veins
Even when I am beat to the ground
I will stand up and fight another round
Battered and bruised
Lacerated with the words that they will say
The whispers of disparity that ring through my brain
I will do whatever it takes
Just to find my way
Even when fear bares its fangs into me
I can endure it all
Even when the baggage becomes overwhelming
I can secure it further or just let it fall
The chains that dangle by my feet
That weigh me down to stop me from achieving this fleet
I live and breathe the struggle that others portray upon me
This is not enough to stop me
I will break through the prison that evil has made for me
I will make all my dreams complete
To sore through the skies and see my fate
Live with the birds in the skies without a care in sight
Even with the stress that attempts to devour me
I will plow through it to find the light at the end of the tunnel
To be face to face with the sun as it creeps on my face
And gently kisses me well done
To feel the grass dance at my feet
Inviting me to a land of never-ending daydreams
Echoes of the branches swaying side to side
I will bare it all to find my way to the light that is shouting my name
The voices that are telling me to set myself free
This is how I find my way to this beautiful scene
