Upward Spiral

When I was a kid I would constantly dream About how I wanted my life to be But I was afraid that I might lose my life to mediocrity I feared not being able sustain my concentration To create in my mind a dream free of limitations So I wrote about it, inside my fear I dreamed in my words and gained control of my mind In systems of thought and synaptic maps of time Then I could see the ultimate me I would rise from my juvenescent poverty But I was still afraid What if I couldn't manifest what I imagined Like that prison that couldn't hold Bruce Wayne Stuck in a life looking up at the light So I wrote about it, inside my fear Goal in mind working towards that end Now I live in the strongest sunlight So many worlds away from where I started So on track to the goal that I've so guarded In my mind from weeds in this garden And I'll never stop, I never can't be better That is an upward spiral That's why I write Every kid that lives in a gray box Because some adult kept them from a challenge that they lost Just needs that word from someone who won He just needs a bit of faith from the kings She just needs a small push from the queens It's the least a child deserves There are troubled youth Because the spirit of a child can only take so much abuse There are broke men Because life without spirit is broken before it can begin Every teacher who crushed a dream Every parent who made it seem like life is a chore Every enlightened person who didn't show them Life could be so much more Thats why I write
