tearing down the walls


what should I do which side to pick in this battle in my mind that’s killing me inside my heart chooses one society chooses one and I pick one and I pick wrong and I know it’s wrong but it’s so easy so I go along but still I feel something within me whispering to me and I know it’s right but it’s so hard so what to do oh, what to do well I know the answer and tonight something will break barriers of pride closing me in holding me back but it’s all fake not meant to last and they break down leaving me all alone but I find something something good what I’ve been striving for all along so I continue to tear at those walls those preconceptions those judgments those filthy, filthy lies placed by society rooted into my mind but I tear them all down and I find myself enlightened happy relieved at peace so now I look up and I see that monster in my life out of my life that wretched pyramid looming out there I’m free for now free from its control resisting its temptations so I lie below it and walk a higher road but it’s a hard road to travel and it’s lonely out here but I must be strong and I will be strong and though I’ll slip I’ll pick myself up and keep going and there’s a chance a very large chance that I’ll be sucked back into that black hole of a pyramid that swallows everything up but I can fight and I will fight and ultimately I will win
