So many expectations

Driven more by manipulation than inspiration

But I’m craving a different sensation

I’m craving a transformation

I need a stronger foundation

For so long there was a hesitation

For so long I waited for confirmation

Waited so long that I lost my patience

Worried more about my reputation than my dedication

I let them kill my motivation

Because I thought they were the path to elevation

But they made me feel small in many occasions

All they caused were limitations

Waiting for some sort of salvation

When all this time I was the only one capable of taking myself out of this situation
