I always hear it,
You gotta explore the world,
To know what's best,
And what you really value,
Keep on running from your past,
And I keep forgetting about how far I've come,
Racing to the next goal,
I'll climb this mountain until I find the top,
You will not find me anywhere else,
Because no one ever looks up,
And up here my voice echoes loud enough,
Perhaps the gods can hear me,
Tear my own legs from underneath me,
Blind myself in the sheet,
Do it all in bare feet.
I almost had you fooled,
Did you really think I was stung enough to be confident,
I hope I'm climbing up the right direction,
I hope that up high,
I'll find my peace,
Finally, drop to my knees,
And give it all in,
To tumble back down again,
I'll take the scars that come along with,
I hope that one day,
I'll be done with all this praying,
And one day I'll finally see what's beyond the sky again,
I hope that I find my piece,
Where I can finally see why,
I've spent all these years praying or climbing,
I know that I've never been one to put myself out there,
But with this ink,
I can't help but put it all out there,
Lost in the fact that my eyes never match the rest of me,
Stop holding your breath,
I know you said I was poetic,
And all I ever said was that I'm just trying to be aesthetic,
I'm just telling you what I'm really thinking,
And not taking a second thought,
To who might care.
