Elevate
a jack to a king
wonder
why he does not sing
realize
the truth he tried to distort
you
never held the same court…
Refuse to bow to any queen
laugh at restrictions, sight unseen
wear independence as a second skin
you hold the power within
Love the joker who called your bluff
ignore your heart when it cries ‘enough’
listen when it makes no sense
you could always climb over that fence
Believe the truth within your soul
restore conviction in every goal
remember life is yours to embrace
you always hold the ace.
