It hangs over my head
The solution's just out of reach
Calling me tauntingly it waits
For my patience to finally break
For me to rush through this barrier
For me to break through and conquer
I feel it swinging above
Clawing at me like some murderous glove
Scratch the top of my head
The barrier's no protection for me
I reach to fight it and I'm blocked
My effort isn't free
It claws and I flinch
Guard down I feel it's grip
Passing through it seems to release
How far away did it really slip?
Trying for new I move on
Hoping my movement isn't wrong
Left to try to hide from this attack
Clawing at my head and I can't fight back
Taunting me, I know I can go up
Put myself within its touch
Let it win and dominate all
But its offering is too small
Hanging over me it tries its best
But no matter what my hope's still left
Running from some thing that's slipped inside
It lays pressure on as its denied
Constant fight for balance continues
Shyly I find myself in the center
Fighting for my own even ground
Trying to fight for some thing better
Constant change is all one can expect
The future is the only thing that doesn't rest
Fighting for the change we want
Progress being the main thing sought
Falling back, progress undone
It hangs above blocking out the sun
Laughing at all the damage it's doing
Proud of every moment it's ruining
Spreading disease, it grows so big
Feeling small, these defenses can't vie
Block it, try to make Good strong
Letting it win is just plain wrong
It can't taint hat which matters
I'll block it and take the batter
I'll apologies for the mark it left behind
It's attacks aren't so easy to bind
