Struggling to Cling on to Childhood
Cocooned in Family and Comfort
Lulled by a state of deceptive peace
Place of midnight dreams, soft sighs
Welcome light-hearted laughter
Where nothing is expected of you
You are loved… Content… Fulfilled…
Dreams are for naught but to amuse you…

BREAK THE SHACKLING STRINGS THAT BIND YOU!
For Shrouded in Deceptive wisps of smiles are
Words that haunt you to terrifying depths
‘Who are you? What have you accomplished?’
The world needs you to prove yourself
Seek to Stand your Ground and Decide
BELIEVE YOU COULD REACH FOR MORE THAN THIS!
Do you not seek it from within?
WAKE UP!
What are stars for but to be reached?
