Fading Memories

The Sky's the Limit

In the prison cell.

The trees cry for help

but they're tied to the ground

They reach above growing and stretching the branches

they reach for freedom, liberty, youth.

Mom always said ' The sky's the limit"

Well the trees know better

or why else would they spend all their lives

reaching above to touch the sky,they know what lays beyond.

I've been stuck here on the ground

haunted by true lies, cowardness and failure.

I look towards the sky

Is this truly were my journey ends?

So i begin to climb

climb the wall of life,

the wall of secrets,

lies,honesty,trust and love.

I'm no greater than the trees now.

They gave up reaching toward the sky,

The leaves falling down,The wind blowing in frustration

My grand wall still sturdy I reach to touch the sky.

But my wall has ended, no further I can go.

Closing my eyes I jumped off this wall I built,

the wall that haunted me in my dreams.

As I fell I never hit the ground,

I soared through the sky

I left behind all the worries.

My wall of limit became never ending

the sky was never my limit.

The trees gave up on their journey

They never let themselves touch the sky

I broke the boundary,

Im closer to the clouds than I've ever been before.

The trees knew the secret.

They whispered to us through the wind,

They wrote letters in the leaves.

They wanted us to see the sky isn't the limit

They tried to prove it by passing through the sky.

I made the journey,

our dreams don't end at the sky

We create our own limits

So you should know the sky isn't the limit, but the beginning.
