To overcome obstacles with no confidence,

Confusion strikes the audience,

They wanted the protagonist to fail so he could be a product of statistics,

The visions of being great always seem unrealistic,

The young boy was always hurting and each day was a lesson he learning,

The world was turning in the direction opposite of where he was going something inside of him was burning,

Though that voice told him to stop often but he's hard-headed to cliché advice,

This is what separated the men from the mice,

The world isn't nice and what glistens isn't always worth chasing,

An action doesn't always need a reaction you can skip some occasions,

Because the pursuit to you is what's important and if you get it make sure that's it worth it,

Find peace of mind inside yourself not that an image that's perfect,

Impossible can be possible don't let anyone tell you no different,

If they really loved you then they wouldn't find your progress offensive,

I'll spend the rest of my days trying find peace hopefully love and happiness will follow,

I'm just that rose that grew from concrete hoping that I'm still growing tomorrow
