Change for the better


Eyes open one seeing with newfound clarity,

childhood reality of blemishes

rainbow painted illusion vanishes.

Never before knew the severity

Past environment of vulgarity,

But you and I can rise from the ashes.

Instead creating a life of riches

not accepting life without prosperity

ending a degenerate lineage.

Reinvent yourself over and over again,

remembering your more than past damage.

we are not just another average,

After everything, we went through we remain

still here, getting ready to take the stage.
