Standing tall on the highest mountain
surrounded by clouds and the most beautiful fountains.
Against all odds, the tree grew on the toughest rock
up in the sky with the highest-flying hawk.

The cherry blossom reached for the sky.
The cherry blossom wanted to fly
to see the world from up high
to see that last as it dies.

The cherry blossom reached its goal
but all too soon it lost control.
it wanted to see it all
even if it meant it'll fall

The cherry blossom reached and reached
while its trunk screeched and people preached
"trees aren't flexible," they cried
yet still, the cherry blossom tried

the cherry blossom soon adapted
for it never ever got distracted
its trunk had bent and curled
and soon it could see the world.

Aim high reach for the star and sky
Shun your laziness and fear
Stride in the right path with head held high
Aiming to reach the goal

Life seems endless,death seems tragic
Lost in crushing defeat.
Doomed to repeat this cycle over again
Deaths cold dark grip on you.

To think you’ve wasted all these years
For how far you've come
The decision is yours,
You may have lost all this time

But you can erase it
Find your dream and pursue
And all the bad memories,replace it
Because life has better meaning
When theres joy in your heart

Insanity prevails when the mountain to climb is too high.
Only people who are crazy and mad enough are the people who achieve their dream goals.

When one
Transfers
The pain
Into the Power

The relaxed one
Starts
To pray

Trust

We did it!
Saved the city
I call my home
But...
It doesn't feel familiar
Did we forget to
Put something back?
Cortal Avenue
Not the same
We won
So why am I not
Proud?
It's time to celebrate
All I can ponder
Is the next challenge ahead
Without another
How will we grow?
Sometimes though
I wish it would stop
No more trials
Peace, come to me
I don't want to win
Instead
Give me a haven
Reject the legends
I accept tranquility

So, You want to win?
I too wish
You to win

Your winning
Never makes me
A loser

I am
In a constant pace
In a different race
For a different cause
Towards a different future
Trusting the process
Of self renewal
All way along
Since then

So, You want to win?
I too wish
You to win

Embark on
Your journey
Thrive and flourish
All the best

Theme: Sanity
Author's Note: And I have seen
Some are taught
Just to take part in a rat race

With whom?
For what?
Still
In confusion
