Illusionist

Your vision was meant for you 
so don't let anyone else stop 
you because there blind in 
what 
they should see so instead they 
try to tell you who you can be 
You live to one day be free
You sacrifice to one day find 
infinite love and glory 
So stop caring about what they 
think and start saying "I am 
me"
I am awesome I am free 
I will one day find glory
And when my story does end 
up being glorious
All the rest will be looking back 
on life feeling poor.
But I feel rich 
I feel infinite love and 
happiness 
I feel everything life should feel 
like
Because I found the brighter 
side and started believing in 
my 
own vision rather than others 
illusions 
Trying to ruin, break and bruise 
in my own world 
Trying make me recoil and curl 
in a corner to fall to the ground 
Not just the ground but to the 
underground where voices 
forever scream loud in your 
ears causing you to hear 
everything they want of you
They try to over take you 
Try to make you there's 
through your own body
But nobody can sink into your 
brain 
Unless they overtake your 
strength 
But your too strong for them to 
over take your strength
Your strong enough to fly to a 
higher place
To live with grace
To live for you
