I got aspirations
That make these obstacles worth facing
I see wolves pacing
Waiting to get a piece of me after dark
Don’t have to be in the ocean to be surrounded by sharks
I never got the winning hand
I’m playing with a stacked deck
This corporate greed is slowing us down
like traffic by a car wreck
And if I jump through the hoops
And do it their way
I don’t even know if its the same dream I had in the first place
When you do get a taste
You can try to make it last
But that’s when all the snakes
Start coming out the grass
On the noble quest for progress
You can easily lose your truth
Gain some growing pains
That you can’t sooth
It’s hard fighting giants
That want to squish you like a bug
Tell lies about your character
And sweep you under the rug
My tactics must adjust
My abilities must improve
And then I turn on myself
When I finally get in the groove
What do I do?
Is it worth the struggle?
Are these accomplishments worth the hustle?
My head fills with gloom
Then I see a flower
What if it decided not to bloom?
It becomes so simple
The pure heart of a child wild and free
I don’t have to figure out what I want to be
I already am
So I’m going to do what I do
My doubts disappear too
My head fills with gratitude
Admire beauty
Breath deep
Read a book
Listen to your heart beat
Be here now
To thyself be true
Don’t chase your dreams
Let your dreams chase you
No more hesitation
No more limitation
I didn’t like my story, So I wrote a variation
Set aside what I think I know for a new experience
And an open mind
Living life one moment at a time
Change is the essence of life
Don’t make count the reasons
4 right off the bat
Call them the seasons
Winter, summer, autumn, spring
Who knows what your next chapter will bring
Don’t fight the change
Growing at the speed of pain
It’s trying to tell you something
Are you listening?
Do you see the dew drops glistening?
If you’re think to much
Let some of them thoughts go
They can be a dam to your river
Blocking your flow
If you’re down in a hole
I can give you a hand
You just better be prepared to stand
I can carry you, but not for long
There’s too many other people
Barely hanging on
So put your down
Go walk to the beach
Take your socks and shoes
Off your feet
Feel the cool water
On your toes
Perfect conditions
For your soul to grow
