A World Ahead

Confined with no space to speak.
Build up the skin to hide what composes me.
I see the path my soles are worn and filled with mud.

The needle threads.
An image of beasts marching in heroic certainty.

I am the tiger. A gem among a world of stone.
I won't be mastered by what holds me down.

My quiet hands shuffling undetected.
Where is my affirmation to make more out of this.
To live a life worth while.

I am the tiger. A gem among a world of stone.
I won't be mastered by what holds me down.

I am the tiger (among a world of stone)
I am the tiger (among a world of stone)

My hands pushed under the weight of my mistakes and doubts.
Dreams and hopes pushed aside. I can't live a life for someone else.

I am a gem among a world of stone.
I am the beast on the tapestry
I am the courage that the needle sews
My life comes first.

Put fear aside. Don't look back. The relief from pressure set me free.
Hold my head high. I won't let this shift sway me. Hold strong.

I can create the life I underestimated for so long.
For me to write the lines. I now see the world that lies ahead.
The world that lies ahead for me.

I am the gem. I am the tiger. I am the courage. My life comes first.
I am the gem. I am the tiger. I am the courage. My life comes first.
