Undoubtedly
I survived a forest fire
Up from the ashes
Riding the decision
To live a life of freedom

Some days
Have me feeling as though
My words are vapid
And only matter
Through the voice of someone
You look up to

Every time I look for the truth
I sieve the dirt to find
The possibility of uncertainty
Playing by the rules
Doesn't feel so glee anymore

As I live in a society
Concerned with plagiarizing
The lives of those living like fire
I shift through the streets
Feeling so different from the rest

The dirt on my shoes
Will never truly go away
And neither will my place
So I just stop my crying
And place my best foot forward

I've grown to find
Life is too hard to be kind
I'd breathe for the wrong ones
Please, oh, please plenish me
As I wake up in the morning
I hope you notice the warning
Jacob
