KINGDOMS

When dawn breaks,
And what you do gets you hooked,
And what you don't do gets in the way too,
It sucks!
You've got to get free.
Got to loose yourself to find you,
And then you can build another anthem,
On top of the one that imprisons you

Away from the timid to the brave,
Along the highway  that leads to your hearts victory,
And to your minds delight,
Then you can say you've build another kingdom,
In place of the other.
So in this pursuit,
Of living as though you don't own what you possess,
Of taking advantage of low moments,
As if to cheat your way to freedom.....
And when happy staying as though you're not...
Its about that effort which goes to fanning the flame 
When the ebbs are low
And quieting the sounds though not to a dull,
When the high note gets you into trouble.

There is this element that seems not much to some,
But to you it is all or none,
So you engross in it,
And then the danger is not far ,
because then it hooks.
The goodness absorbs you,
The bad in it gets you too.
These kingdoms are the ones i refer.
So what is the way out?
Staying as if what you buy is not yours to keep.
Knowing that even time ,
as fleeting as it is, is not yours too.
So that even if you'd fail a thousand times in all others,
But commit your soul to only this,
You'll have broken a thousand barriers,
And out of kingdoms that keep you down,and below!
