The sky is the limit

In school they used to tell you
how the sky is the limit
But what never let us know
is what happens when you hit it
You'll plunge straight back to earth
with your wings cracked
Spine snapped
and get your face smacked
upon impact

But see I'm different
I'll take their lies
with me down from the skies
Aflame
Just to show you how the struggle
And the hustle
Is in vain

And with my last strength I'll throw a bolt of lightning to the sky
Just to show you how that concept of our limits is a lie
Lab rat turned carnivore
Babylonian brickstacking whore
Broken at the core
set out to explore the game
of self destruct galore

But I'll let it go, we'll never know our true colors
I'm off to a eight hour shift of being dog with shock collar

aye when you are young they say the whole world is there for you then kick you in the nuts as soon as you step out saying you can't do that!

Ulysses
Again your voice comes through clear and precise. A good read.

My only crit is the last two lines, they seem to miss the beat.
