Shackles

The past is everything we were,
It doesnt make us who we are.

From these shackles you will burst,

Run, fly, and soar until you touch the stars.

As beautiful as a flower is, in the sunlight you glow,
But you need the rainy days, to stimulate your growth.

Elevate with each obstacle, rise above the rest,

You already passed the examination, before you started the test.

Towards your very being, society may flout,
But keep your head held high and rise above every doubt.

Stars dont shine, they burn
You cant be lackadaisical, and expect to earn.

So break from these shackles, let you potential free,
Claim what is yours, as I sip my cup of tea
