CHALLENGE

(CYCLE : BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL )

I’m not going to be slave

I won’t give into circumstances

That push me in one direction


A multitude of circumstances comers me

Confuses me, extors, coerces

Like I’ve fallen into a spider’s web

Like I’m a moth circling a candle

Like I’m sliding down a narrow crack into unknow


But I won’t give up

I’m going to break the spider’s web

I’ll blow out  the candle

Or the wind that I’ll call will extinguish it

I’ll catch on something in the passing

And I’ll stop


In my heart make yourself a nest a weight

That squeezes tears of despair

That pours bitternes down the  throat

That overpowers my knees

That makes shake my hands


But I’ll met this burden

With  the power of my dreams

And my belief that it’s worth it


Cause I used to be in heaven

And I know that it’s worth

Doing everything to be

Able to get there


You who weren’t in heaven

Or don’t remember you were there

Believe me, it’s worth trying

Be an indomitable knight

Don’t give into Fate

Elevate the challenge
