draped by a silver lining

character a joke,    
spirit on a slope,  
my mind was funny    
and my brain was strange,    
   
livin false hopes,    
first one to mope,    
shame was falling  
down like rain,    
   
time to understand,    
from a boy to a man,    
what it means by    
no pain and no gain,    
   
integrity my rope,    
to the summit
like a goat.. seeing life  
in a brand new frame,    
   
now at the top,    
synapsis firing nonstop,    
vision has no  
rose colored stains,    
   
the sun comes up,    
i run out like a pup,    
i’m draped by    
a silver lining,    
   
now life changing  
tornado clouds,    
or tarnishing figures    
in the crowd,    
   
can’t stop my spirit from shining!
