A self-arranged route. Ambitions led me forward. Every step was to gain my adolescent aspirations. I was confident.
When life was array, The goals became my crutch, My vitality, The only reason to move, progress.
Idealistic and naive. Blind and hopeful. I meandered swiftly, I gallivanted unsuspecting.
If I was to truly exist, I had to control my haste. Oblivious to true adversity, I needed to digest the lesson, I needed to understand the complications.
Unexpectedly, the caveat stared at me. I fought and clashed, To only raise the white flag of surrender. The battle was lost.
Who I was eluded. I struggled through a sea of self-impediments. I allowed myself to drown in the agony. I did not have the armor to save me.
Through the fog, I heard songs that healed. I held on to the words as they began to stitch me together. I started to crawl, I knew I would never be the same again.
I knew I had to start a crusade, An onslaught against myself, An onslaught against the organization. I knew I would never be the same again.
As I raised armaments, With the reinforcement in my ears, I began to evolve. The person I was became more substantial.
I had further tribulations ahead, But I was more prepared, more capable. I was humbled, yet proud. The person I was became more unobstructed.
Through the misfortune, My identity became solidified, I reattained my dreams, And I made efforts to get a steady hold.
I told myself I will not founder. I told myself I could not relinquish. For this was the war that would define me, And I knew I must persevere.
