Staring At The Ceiling

Eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling A blurry vision, a burning feeling To break free from gravity's hold A story waiting to unfold Like a wildfire carving a path unknown Leaving ashes where doubt had sown The world's a crowded room, voices whispering loud "Stay in your lane," they shout in a shroud A pre-built cage, a life neatly planned But my spirit's a wild horse, straining against the sand Society's a maze, with walls built high Conformity's the price, a stifled sigh But my heart's a compass, always pointing north Towards a life that's truly something of worth Eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling A blurry vision, a burning feeling To break free from gravity's hold A story waiting to unfold Like a wildfire carving a path unknown Leaving ashes where doubt had sown Empty pockets, a dream so grand Seems like a mountain I can't withstand But every step, a victory won Building a future, one by one Voices like shadows, whispering fears "It's not for you," they murmur in my ears But doubt is a thief, stealing my flame I'll fan the embers, whisper my own name Eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling A blurry vision, a burning feeling To break free from gravity's hold A story waiting to unfold Like a wildfire carving a path unknown Leaving ashes where doubt had sown Bricks start to crumble, the walls fall down Conformity's chains, no longer bound Following the compass, the path unknown Planting my own seeds, a future I've sown The blurry vision, now coming into view The burning feeling, a passionate hue Doubt's ashes scattered, the wildfire's roar Reaching for the summit, forevermore
