I had been racing past for so long
Forgotten how it felt to move just one step at a time
Conforming to the beat of a constantly shifting song
Just trying to reach rhyme after rhyme
Swinging through each slow symphony
Sprinting along every long-awaited crescendo
The orchestra of life, setting me free
Yet also holding me back, forced to face the fading melody
And know as I stand here to glare upon my distant dream
Letting loose the song of my soul shattering the sound of silence
A ray of light piercing through the night, a star to gleam
Biding my time as seconds freeze, testing my patience
Time itself planting me within the earth, only darkness to see
Roots shoot out clenching the night, trunk blasts past all dirt in sight, branches bloom speckled with green teardrops
End of fervor, end of the rush, forced to wait, though I shall never stop
