The inner struggle to transcend a negative outlook.

The world is split into two groups, a world divided

Among the people who are fortunate and find the light

And those who are left to blindly seek.

At first we are all trapped in our heads, blind to the world

Caged in with our own hateful thoughts.

In this foul prison escape seems futile, a fool’s dream.

But then most of us catch a glimpse of the light.

This light ascends from lofty heights, bringing new purpose into our lives.

Looking at the world through new eyes, we see all the possibilities life brings

But we also see those who are less fortunate.

Now the only thing we share in common with these people, who are mirrors of our earlier selves, is the knowledge that they will never escape.
