Success

Students on the paradigm
shifting with the circus
conversion rates adjusted
muster the courage for the purpose
Step up to the moment
take up the stage
speak your truth
lay the rage
let the fire from your breath
push the facts and figures
to the crew
other kids will listen to you
society has a bright future
only if you can be the proof
Bad kids got the most talent
bored and rather talk in the back
success can easily
slip between the cracks
I almost did
but two friends disappeared
we thought we had it made
until we made our graves
and laid the fear
thought we'd make it anyway
cocky as hell
jokes made the days pass
until the laughter
decided to melt.
snow on the mountain
peeks that we chase
you can be the best
just don't engage in the race
go at your own speed
let them know you are a king
tell them you're a Queen
no one can take your dreams
Hear your future in the breeze
feel love in the trees
high fives with tomorrow
catch and kiss with memories
