My life is an unfinished artwork
It needs a retouch on how it should be.

Offers to shine are non-existent,
Even though talent and character prevails.

Trying to earn success ends up hitting a wall,
As dreams with ambitions become crushed.

Putting down your shield to meet new people,
But raise it up again as rejection strikes fiercely.

Succeeding and acceptance are desires with power,
Gaining strength to achieve aspirations of normality.

Normalizing chances for happiness encounters reality,
As imperfections in society dominates decisions.

Treat all opportunities as occurrences of extinction,
Fighting for prospects like possibilities depends on existence.

Barriers try to block my aim for success,
Threatening victory through destruction.

Visions of glory endure harm by persistence,
Pursuing achievements with passionate resistance.

Desires defy oppositions that halt progress,
As growth strives for productive advancements.

Positive results are on a hard mission,
In a struggle to withstand society’s defects.

Always rejecting shortcomings as factual terms,
Not allowing truths of reality define my aspirations.

I can't afford the mansion you crave,
but I can visit the forest from where
it's made

And laugh as birds put holes in timbers
that you've spent a lifetime
chasing after
