Breaking free

Enthusiasm blended with intelligence,
Has power to lift you higher over the fence,
But it's the landing that's going to dictate,
Whether it's your cranium or leg that's gonna break.

Never knew I would fall into a lion's den,
Didn't know that the world would be so cruel damn,
Being lied to under the dogma of fear and belief,
Man, manipulation got a soldier defenseless in grief.

They say keep your friends close but your enemies closer,
I guess I was stupid keeping them far closer,
Drained my energy away, nothing i could foster,
Crushed from a higher being and resorted to things much lesser.
Being taken advantage of by the snake psychos,
Shouted but my scream was an endless echo,
I shouldn't blame, I should've being my own hero,
Respected and feared just like Tut the hero.

Struggled to prove worthy among the unworthy,
Sadly I had the pressure to be  trustworthy,
Now my worth isn't among the unworthy,
May sound funny but superman isn't telling stories.

Imitated their traits to match their negativity,
Didn't know he was giving his energy away freely,
The boy kinda learned the hard way pretty strictly.

Sometimes the soul feels burdened and faded,
Afraid to get hurt and eventually hated,
But what's the point anyway, it'll be terminated,
Just to find out that real happiness is created.

Darkness is used to thrive and strive,
No tight bonds, now invulnerable to the hive,
Learned to learn and keep that mind hydrated,
Cause I know I'm the superhero I chose and that's stated.
