Almost There

I’m almost there
I had to change my wear
even if it was my last pair
Cause I had to keep it moving,
on my way and keep improving,
all the pain I keep removing.
The past, it was a scare
and so the present is to repair
my future I will share
I’m almost there so
please don’t close that gate
I won’t be late at this rate
I just can’t wait
to see all the stares
Of those who thought
I couldn’t bear
Of those who ought
to be aware
I’m on my way
I’m picking up weight
But I could carry away
I’ve got a stronger plate
I can’t back down
I need to earn my crown
Unobtainable with a frown
if I rather not say,
it’s gonna come back to haunt me
and I’m gonna always be its prey
so I go after what I want,
even if it means facing fear:
False Expectations Appearing Real.
It will not destroy my happiness:
the core to my prized possession.
Can you see my expression?
Nothing near depression
It will leave you with a good impression
For now, hear my confession
I lost my sense, always at a defense
with a pretense of nonchalance
But now I’m on the offense,
I’m trying to score so I get into flow
I’m almost there
Can you hear me down the block?
The clock is ticking, tick tock
I’ll make it without a doubt
Only way is to keep this route.
