I got my eyes on the prize
but I'm hypnotized
by the lies
I provide
and wonder why
my life
seems to die

and fade
nothing but rain
on my parade
so I wait
pride at stake
as I awake
to find my fate
a mistake

given the chance
to advance
I surpass
my past
and realize at last
that the future comes fast

so I begin
at the end
clear my sins
ready to win
realize again
that I'M significant

and this is my life

The future comes fast, yes!

And you have realized your beauty and value in time.

Beautifully rendered!
