Break Free

I find music in the simplest of sounds, yet all I'm surrounded by is noise. I find beauty in the simplest of nature, yet all I'm surrounded by is a concrete jungle. I see a sparkle in the eye of a friend, yet all I'm surrounded by is a crowd of unknowns. I see a new future through the eye of a needle, yet all I'm surrounded by is tangled thread. Maybe what I see in life is overshadowed by what surrounds me. Maybe it's time for me to rise up and show people that what they are and what they can be are two different things. For you are now what society makes you...but in fact, you can be who you really want to be. Break free.
