Potential

Tears before the window

And I could not believe my eyes

A single life through, splitting

Into a thousand rays of light

Before my knees were bloody

From jumping free from palms on high

Standing three feet seven inches

I did believe that I could fly

And if this is my true home

And we are near its light

I shouldn't terrify you

Standing with the key

Inside the lock

To me, that is potential

And ashamed of being fearful

Although the world has shown you how

But fear could never keep you there

And it will not hold you now

Little baby brother

Behind the [?]

And I cannot calm my quaking body

Even though I know he's there

And if this is your answer

And even if it's not

Remember energy

Can travel from

A single forceful spot

To me, that is potential
