rising the bar

Back in the time, way way ago, When I was hungry, chasing dreams, moving slow, Grind in the shadows, where the light barely glows, Every step a battle, but that’s how the story goes. See me shine, like a flicker in the night, Past full of struggles, but I’m ready for the fight, Moments in disguise, every tear, every scar, Built my foundation, now I’m raising the bar. Future in my hands, watch me mold it like clay, Turning pain into power, never led astray, Echoes of the past, they whisper in my ear, But I’m breaking through the chains, now the vision’s crystal clear. Show 'em how I rise, from the ashes I ignite, Darkness all around, but I’m bringing forth the light, Every moment counts, in this game of life I play, Back in the time, but I’m forging my own way.
