At the Present Time


Why do I feel this indescribable temperature?

Inside, I feel I need to be nurtured

Future looks so dim, yet I'm so bright

At the end of this tunnel, I know I'll see the light

Only time can tell, whether or not hell

Riding the off-road terrain, disobeying all others mind frame

I'm my own hero, never gonna amount to zero

Unprepared for this new lifestyle I’ve begun today

It won’t be easy, that I will admit

Sacrifices all have their rewards

Never give in, never pull the cord

Love isn’t always the way they paint it

When will I be, I’ve never felt this?

Extreme infatuation or maybe obsession

Just ready for this for what’s comin

Simplify life I never would

Live twice if I could

Life is hard, but im up for the challenge

Truly motivated to rise up and avenge

Stars are the limit, see it through my lenses

Please block the evil from my five senses

Absorb the positives, hear the truthful cries

Use your minds eye to view the lies

Observe all, question everything

Search beyond yourself, you’ll find the key.
