factory reset
i’d never thought i’d make it far,
the path was out of sight;
when meaning was unreachable,
i’d just turn off the light;
my mind would spin in circles,
and i did not try to cope;
my life had little meaning,
my philosophy was hope;
beginning my new journey,
many faces, they don’t see me;
and all it seems my brain can do,
is constantly remind me;
of all the times the dark had come,
and struck, stayed by my side;
told me that i was weak and small,
my brain was never kind
my grades began to slip a bit,
because i did not speak;
and that was when the switch did flip,
seemingly in my dreams
i marched as one with many,
unstoppable at last;
the confidence i needed,
i succeeded and i passed.
i always have aspired,
wanted my dreams be real;
but what’s an aspiration
if you don’t speak how you feel?
the lessons of the many,
in only a couple years;
YOU are all you have,
you’ve got to face your fears
