Figure 8.

Don't underestimate me.
Even if it's something you can't see,
It does not mean it can never be.

I proved you wrong once before,
And if you act like this
I'll have to prove you wrong once more.

Why do you keep me leveled with the floor?
If it's me that you adore,
Wouldn't you want to see me soar?
See me in the round;
Pick me up from off the ground.

I'm starting to notice you keep me
here for your sanity.
Because if you allow me to shine,
My light will leave you blind.

You are afraid to want me
Because then you'll realize you need me.
And your insecurities keep telling you
That you can't feed me the love
You believe I deserve.

But that's asking for something I haven't earned.
Because you're not the only one who still has
A lot in love to learn.

From where I am, to where I wanna be,

This road is rigorous and long,
The trade winds forever blow fierce and strong.
The only way I'll make it there alive,
is if I find the potential hidden deep inside.

This road's winding nature takes me on a ride;
Zig zag, inverting and constantly breaking my stride.
It blurs any hope in sight to survive,
But this is where patience and dedication pushes through.
Persistance plus determination to make a reality of my view.

And just when I've found a constant pace,
There may be an infinite wall of concrete put in place to test my faith;
Appearing impossible at my feet,
But I look up to the sky with no retreat.
Strength per inch I will conquer and defeat
any obstacle you said I would not be able to beat.
