Better Tomorrows

Breaking through barriers,
Is scarier than I thought,
Terrified by what they taught me,
I bought into the version you see,
Afraid of my own reality,
When really it is my entity,
Creating what I believe to be,
Dictating a story in the making,
Indicating the direction I'm taking
Shaking off an old way of being,
Breaking the barriers I'm seeing,
Fleeing a feeling of needing,
Seeding a whole new crop,
Believing I'm already on top,
Popping the cap,
Closing the gap,
The trap is set,
Snapping into action,
Creating a distraction,
Just to gain traction,
The satisfaction is mine,
I know I'm Divine,
Creating my own Timeline,
Shining brighter then before,
More and more barriers show,
I eliminate their shadows,
Illuminating better tomorrows.
