Ivory Tower

Cast out and neglected.
Feeling so frustrated.
Its why solitude has become the aim.
Forever sick and tired of someone else’s game.

Ivory tower.
Source of new power.
Lock the door and toss out the key.
Rebuild a life.
Don’t surrender.
Otherwise your progress will go in a blender!

Bullied relentlessly day and night.
Bruises that you can’t hide in poor light.
For villains await in the wings.
You are the prey that they wish to be toying.

Ivory tower.
Source of new power.
Lock the door and toss out the key.
Rebuild a life.
Don’t surrender.
Otherwise your progress will go in a blender!

But if retreat too many times…
You will go wild in their eyes.
Become just as jaded as them.
Ivory tower will unbalance you dear friend.
Its a refuge not a keep.
Spend too long their and you will go freak.
Transform from victim into monster.
I see in your eyes you fear that!

Break from these chains.
Bare witness to all.
You did not falter, crumble or fall.
Heeded these words and have become so much more.
Now these bullies realise it is them who are small.
For they are forgotten and hide in the night.
You defeated them without ever starting a fight.
Rose above and formed your own peace.
Smile and rejoice for you are whole and not just a piece!
