Kingdom of Me

I drew a line,

said this is where I'm safe and I feel fine.

I drew a line.

Satisfied,

I lived inside that box for quite awhile.

I'm satisfied.

Oh, to think there's a problem,

I, haven't thought of.

Who I am.

Up in my castle,

I sit on my throne;

while the streets hold disaster 

but know nothing more.

I'm a fool.

I'm a coward.

I sail my ship out to sea,

look behind,

 see the kingdom of me.

Away I ran. 

This moment placed in time for me to stand.

Away I ran. 

Scared to see this monster that has taken over me.

Too scared to see.

Up in my castle,

I count all my gold;

while my kingdom is drowning

 in tears from the poor.

 I'm a fool.

 I'm cold heart.

When I look at my crown

I see blood;

I see fear;

I see down, down, down.

When will I learn,

that it doesn't get much better till you turn;

you gotta turn yourself around.

Up in my castle

 I tear down my throne,

cast my crown to the ocean,

 and bury my gold.

I have finally found that,

 when I look past my pride,

I see love come to life,

for this kingdom to be,

 so much more than the kingdom of me.
