To Break the Circle

TO BReAK THE CIRCLE

The circle is formed-work is done,
pace has been set. 
To a losing end-deluded as a win.
To break the path, it’s hard to do that.
The power must come from above.
It wasn’t your choice-you didn’t have a voice;
nor do you know if they did it for “LOVE”.
But here you are, The Circle-Child,
brought into a world of disgrace,
sorrow will hold you for a little while,
then reality will slap your face.
So break your circle-make your change,
go the way you choose,
you'll have to endure a lot of pain-
but to stay in the circle, you lose.
So don’t be alarmed when the circle is broken
and they begin to call you names;
they will do you harm while cracking their jokes,
and charge the fault to your blame.
Don’t be insecure and feel afraid,
reach for the golden miracle.
Go to God to give you aid,
to break the unchanging circle.
