Unaccepted

Fri, 05/15/2015 - 03:08 -- Joaquin

Free your mind from the confinement of the world,

And let your soul explore the universe…

 You’re too scared about what’s out to get you

And before you know it, it’s got you

And when it’s got you, it’s stopped you

And now you’re too scared to try again.

So you stay on the ground, scream to the sky

Why can’t you just make things right,

Why did you have to give me this life?

And you begin to contemplate ending it

Without putting up a fight,

And say it was never fair from the beginning

Because you weren’t given the easy life.

But the one making it hard was yourself

And you were too ignorant to recognize it

So you began to blame everyone else.

You felt as if there was no one to show you the way,

No one to help you find the key

To the secrets of the truth on living,

You felt as if your enemies were surrounding you,

But in reality they were guiding you

To the one thing you need, your destiny.

They were the lock,

The thing that restricted you from doing certain things

 And helped you find the small crevasses

That you knew wouldn’t accept the shape of the key

Which was really you.

But since you weren’t being accepted

You began to give up and look for a new key.

 You began to try to mimic the ones who

Have already unlocked their destiny,

But you ignore the fact that everyone’s lock is different,

 And everyone is their own key.

The secret to passing through this barrier,

Is understanding that we are all on the same journey,

Of discovering our key,

Then facing the adversity

 That locks away our destiny

 In which nobody can take away,

Because their key cannot match yours.

So don’t stand here and lie to me,

 Telling me that you’re not special.

Because when you give up on yourself,

You give up on your destiny,

And either way, that can’t be taken

By anyone else other than you.

You are wasting your chance

of discovering your destiny

by staying on the ground,

So get up and stick it out.

The harder your adversities get,

The more complex the crevasses turn and twist,

shouldnt discourage you

on whether or not your'e fit for your life.

Because the harder it gets,

the more you know

How special of a key you are.
