DING DONG!

Walls of my mind are caving in
nightmares where dreams have been
plans unwinds so fast in the head
but it slowly plays out instead
the inevitable race to success
through the swamps, forests and the wilderness
survival; the focus of the brain
what a task it is to make a name
the picture has to fit in the frame
pain is gain
pain is slow
gain should grow
gain is a slow painful growth
patience is everyone's friendly foe
oppression makes you pout
depression frees your doubt
pressure from folks
fierce heat from the stove
answers is their question
not certain enough, never mention
the door opens up to hopelessness
bubbling to the surface is restlessness
but there's never a shortcut to happiness.
