Unable to Be Contained

Endless restlessness quakes in my every step as I continue 

Trapped in this cycle of seemingly meaningless activities holding me back

With its formalities and teaching, stopping me from reaching the dream I pursue

I understand the value of growing strong roots, yet there\'s something I still lack

That knowledge doesn\'t rip away this feeling of ambition in my core

I wish to burst free from the soil as a hearty tree with broad branches and loose leaves

A soldier kept in training, while others die in war

Knowing the value of these early days cannot soothe nor end the beating of this grieving heart

I wish to burst free from these years of eternal solitude and preparation all building up to the moment I dream of

Like a flame growing unruly, I climb the tree stalks, seeking the truth that lies above
