It’s lonely at the top
When envy makes allies drop
They go from being by your side to watching you with green eyes
and knives
When all you want to do is eat
Have a dinner table full for your company
The guestlist shrinks
All who remain are family
Which never does that ever really bother me
In the struggle for attainment of your joy’s dream
It’s humbling when dreams speak and images are forewarning
In the middle of four corners, four corners protecting the flesh and blood carrying the soul
Whose mystery of which they only know
You’re spoken to
So listen to
I scatter heaven’s water in every room
Live accordingly and have been blue because life’s struggles have included you
Not to get specific cuz we’re all terrific
But on this road to awaiting triumph, I have battled a number of the jungle’s lions
And lionesses
I was attempted to be captured through cold caresses and made to feel insecure because of another’s tresses
I love to battle on the field in gorgeous dresses
My knack for no cares causes stresses
I live loving my humble blessings
Ancestry
I live the strength of my legacy
Everything I do is because it’s been done for me
It’s lonely at the top
When your bubble’s been popped but you still don’t stop cuz the hot air of another motivates your cover and new identity
The now you know less about me steez
You look around and find no one trustworthy
Just the same old faces and their disgraces
Their offenses and smiles begging for new chances
Cuz you keep
Reaching for your dream
And it’s not about money.
It’s to be satisfying your living
To be about what makes you happy
Be about positive surroundings
Be about the giving
The growing
Expanding
Declaring
Conquering
Adjusting but never changing
Your core existence always honoring
Bridges set themselves on fire to escape your relentless desire
Rather than create a match to meet
Envy should discover security
Lonely at the top when your loved one can’t trust your late nights
Causes for later fights
The top, a lovesick sacrifice
Loved ones choose to give up on the love that once was
You chose your dream over their cause
Had to choose between your happiness and theirs
Left a love hurt although you truly cared
Lovesick sacrifices a cost paid
That love in your story just another page
To love this homage I pay
Lonely at the top
When your heads been played and company overstays cuz they’re not done sucking you dry
You keep learning with each why
“Did I allow that to be?”
Turns into
“Thank you God for the lesson I am learning”
You take the lesson and exit free from the sensitivity that allowed your victimizing
And if you were the one that made a soul ache
Learn from that poisonous mistake
If it comes again to your face, think about that yesterday and elevate
Otherwise, if you want to be evil and corrupt
Don’t be upset with another when you fall into a rut
It’s lonely at the top cuz that means you’ve done it all and lived through it
Yet find no one to call and celebrate
Your passing through iron nail studded gates
Being at the top takes a swim through hate
Lifesavers with extended arms your hand take
And beside you stand
Secure in their dreams and own stand
United individuals marching on towards their grand
Living life honest and pure
Secure
Supportive of your wish as are you of their bliss
Can you figure this?
Lonely at the top waving to the past
When you’re reaching for the top and the struggle lasts
Allies see them drop cuz they can’t seem to bother with themselves and continue to scheme
A family is realer than any team
A family has foundation and a shared dream
A brother and a sister receive what they give
The love they also live
Lonely at the top
As you try to have it made
Watch your dream materialize
Dry faces after exhausted cries
Over hurdles continue to fly
To negative continue to give its opposite
Because it’s heaven sent
The visions that keep you free of regret
Keep intact your morals and self-respect
As you grow closer to what makes you sweat
You grow stronger
This don’t you forget
Lonely at the top but at least you got what it is you want
A goal attained is what you flaunt
Destiny will also bring if you’re listening and following
What is meant to be yours
You’re never really lonely when you’re opening doors
Never really lonely when you enrich what you store
What shines through
Gifts inside of only you
