Skyscrapers
With each brick and beam, I start to elevate.
I motivate myself and start moving forward.
With torn hands, blood sweat and tears, I wipe my brow and I keep moving on.
With each step I secure each bolt and nail, I wipe my brow and I keep moving forward.
With all that I have built, I can’t stop now, I wipe my tears, stretch my legs and I keep moving on.
With hours past and distance gained, I wash the blood off my hands and then I carry on.
With heavy hands, exhaustion and regret, I can’t let my skyscraper come tumbling down.
With each level that I have gained, errors that I’ve made, I read my plans and I keep moving on.
With each step that I take, I see my skyscraper take shape.
I can’t stop now, I’m reaching hallowed ground.
Now that years have passed, I stand atop my skyscraper looking down.
In retrospect, I’m filled with no regret
When everything ends, I’d take a deep breath find a brick and build it all again.
