Rise To the Top

Being trapped inside your own mind can lead you to insanity.
Soon before you know it, 
you’re a threat to all humanity.
They’ll push you away when all you really need is help.
Your life is no concern to them, 
no matter how much you yelp.
So many selfish souls but some good still floats around,
Search for that kind, 
they won’t let you down.
Obtain what is essential to get back on your feet.
When you do, that is one of the many times you and success can meet.
Keep climbing that mountain, 
don’t ever look back or stop.
The ignorant ones will try to drag you back down below,
but the wise ones will succeed in getting you to the top.
