My place

The struggle marches on...
Some weeks so freakin' long...
It pulls me down, it grounds me still...
It hurts like hell, it bends my will...

But yet somehow...somewhere...
Unseen for days...and then it's there!
That look...those mirror eyes!
They see the future, they tell no lies!

They promise and they achieve...
They fight back and they succeed...
Breaking chains that block the way
Paving through, they seize the day...

The strength! Ohh the joy!
It pushes me...no more a boy!
I am... and I know within...
A choice in mind...I'm going to win.

Mature, cerebral, focused... I know my place!
