Distinctly

Pressure boils over wanting to create a burn

pressing on because you know it's what you want

no one said it would be easy

following your dreams

wanting a life of freedom from the chains of money

keep on writing moving that mind, keep turning,

keep learning, disappointment can't stay here

only room for hope and positive thinking

leaving sickness and your demons to choke on your light

don't dim, stay lit, can't let you go out

won't let you die

I see what can be and I want to go for it

because I won't let there be another choice

another hour, another day full of regrets

I got to get up and push forward.
