Wings Beneath My Feet

"your magic exists in the expression of you"

Kill my soul and kill my pride.

Leave nowhere for my pain to hide.

Challenge me if you care to see.

I am trying to be the best of me.

Think it through though, I've been challenged a lot.

You gotta know me to know the spot.

I've never been easy to reach.

I've never been easy to teach.

Cast on my own at a young age.

I learned to myself, I should pray.

Found myself, don't listen to much of what they say.

Don't care to fit in or be understood.

Following my joy as I know I should.

Much ridicule faces me.

But I harness it strengthening my key.

Your doubt feeds my certainty.

I don't expect you to understand the real me.

My crazy visions seem out of place.

We simply have different pallets for taste.

I dream of magic and the possibilities of life.

You're stuck in the dismal fog of your sight.

Stop complaining and it all appears more bright.

The words you speak are dimming your light.

Speak of the good this life does show.

Even if all you know is woe.

Your magic exists in the expression of you.

So please embrace yourself b4 it's through.

Find your heart and what makes it soar.

Find the courage to open the door.

Step inside and know thyself.

With this sense you can then delve.

Into the depths of who you are.

Trust me, without knowing you, you are a star.

But you can't shine if you don't embrace your light.

It's up to you, to find the might.

To honor your life and honor your meaning.

All your fears are simply deceiving.

Inside of you know you are magically infinite.

But distractions have caused you to simply forget.

So take this moment and take a breath.

See yourself as your best.

Remember that is you, should you take the test.

Testing yourself is no easy feat.

But with each passed test you put wings beneath your feet.
