I keep trying
to resuscitate
my dreams that
always hesitate
at the brink of
their achieving
all that I am
not receiving
drowning in
their dissolution rates
with no hope to
resuscitate
what fate has left
upon my plate
upon my plate....
I’m saddled to
a nightmare
a huge stallion
running wild
chasing fame but
going the wrong way
ever since I was a child
Seeking love but
finding only lust
nothing ever
built on trust
one night stands in bars
left undermanned
any chance for
love untouched
just flesh parries
meeting thrusts
hungers sated
But not discussed.
That's no good man
that's not my plan
that's not where I am
I've got to keep trying
and I know I can......
Teetering on the
brink of poverty
I am working for some men
who will rise to heights
I’ll never reach
I’m not part thier wealth plans
My 4K is not 4 carats
I am buried by my debts
One mistake and they
will mark my grave
Just a peon they’ll forget.!!
I grew up in the projects
always hungering for more
and I’ll probably die in
the same damn place
what the hell is it all for.
but when you chose
to just stop trying
you won’t be living
you’ll be dying
and your loved ones
will be crying
long before you’re ever gone
does no good
wailing and sighing
in a world that
thrives on lying
every step you take
that sets you back
is a bit more satisfying
then just simply occupying
the same dead
space every day
fate’s a bitch,
she loves denying.
all the breaks
that come your way
but just turn back and keep climbing
it’s the game of life we play
it’s a crap shoot
when you roll the dice
and you've got fues
you've got to pay
You can wind up in deep shit
but those polka dots
sometimes bless have nots
and one day they’re gonna hit
and you’ll holler this is it,.
this is it, this is it This is it !!!
I’ll keep trying
and defying
all the odds that
steal my place
In that title that
they call success
someday I will win the race
amidst all the rats that fall behind
with a huge grin on my face
never give Uo the chase
or you'll be erased.
Don’t stop trying
don’t stop
just Don’t.
repeat again..
