I started from the bottom,
when I looked up I was already at the top,
I was trying to figure out how did I get there,
It was like a race without notice,
A storm filled with rain,
I wanted beauty, but only got pain
It was everything i couldn't understand,
Why am I still at the bottom,
I thought I was at the top
I was climbing, reaching,
Fallling, searching, for something
I was racing with myself,
I was lost, I was found,
I was strong, I was weak
I could see, yet so blind,
I could listen, without hearing
I was understanding, yet understood
I was doing everything right,
Yet I was at the bottom,
I smiled, I cried,
I danced, I sang,
I dreamed, I love
Yet, I was still at the bottom,
I yelled but no one heard me,
I painted the picture I wanted,
But it was not the picture i visioned to
I wanted better, so I swimmed to the top, the picture was created
I was strong, with my head above sea
I was determined,
I was ready, yet hesitate,
I've learned, I've taught,
I've gained, I've lost,
Clearly I was at the bottom,
