Through the looking glass
I peer to a view far beyond my reach
despite the sting of reality
I stand firm on my beliefs
PLEASE! don’t take it easy on me
all I know is the struggle
hardtimes was all times
as I remember, I’m troubled
Through the hourglass
time never stands still
and the years
break open the dam of tears
I fear I’m lost
tossed to and fro
by temptations hold, I hear
false prophets speak, these
money dreams, I’ve seen this place before
Emascalated my body’s made it
to that deja vu, that, place I knew I hated
Through the thinking glass
every last thought
plays its course
of course, I think back and laugh
just to mask what pains my heart
I’m wroth
fused with fire I burn uncontrollably
what’s controlling me
My fighting spirit ignites my fury
OUTMATCHED yet undeterred cleary
Impregnated by the spirit of motivation
I patiently await its conception
to begin my manifestation
A journey, predestinated if only I embrace it
My internal initiation
to struggle with struggle
until victory is more than just preservation
I’m faced with
what lies inbetween the future and the past
Through this broken glass, alas
my eyes see past deciet
to acheive what was once beyond my reach
I now understand
holding on to falsified beliefs
only imprison me
It was He who gave me the power to see
and rendered the powers that be obsolete
So now my looking glass no-longer mask’s
but reveals the truth of Me
