Rising up beyond the dark
Unknown light that will spark
Push and pull to get to the mark
Like finding a lost pin in the park
Through pain, through tears, and the stress mark
Yet still, I build the ark.
They watch with faces frown
At deep sea, confuse state, I drown
My purpose, my goal now a clown
Chased after, laughed at in the center of town
For all the pain, for all the tears, I am pulled down
Emblem of shame, worn as my crown.
Can’t move, I give up, wake up from a dream
Nightmare, I woke up with a scream
A world unfair, couldn’t reach the marking scheme
I believed my ego, I trusted my theme
Through the pain, through the tears, the world was not my team
Will you be there to back me to redeem?
