    My Love for my True Ambition

    I not quite sure how to say this became a very voracious feeling
    Stuck in strong waters that pushed away just to spiral downward
    Into a hard rock bay , i return to my sense becoming excited
    Then deranged thinking the feeling lead my heart astray
    The rush contain explosive energy overcame and scared me
    So i shut myself off by crafting a key only true eyes could see
    It popped when i win it storms in when i lose paying true prices
    Through late dues after all its better become a jester to out play
    All the kings fools. Out of all things that me sick Within the core
    It has to be the ability not to do more as a whole aiming stars high
    In the sky but denied each time by these so called winners its
    Flashes back and forth in my head seeing great champion quitter
    Society as a whole lays multiple taste then the dish became bitter
    Then Legends becoming quitters the Lazy man drinking from the
    World cup and taking his trophy wife out to dinner Cant believe
    From what i was told through out the young and old Legends will
    Deliver . I look Through this feeling with many mentals clues hold
    Thy breath in positivity and out Toxicity two more times hold
    My frustration gain in touch of dividing lines between the fallen
    And great Divine .But things come and go as i understood with time why am
    I complaining that there are no more greats in this time when i been sheltered
    And put myself in the waters to make this my time ,okay then im ready to grind starting
    To practice my poems into different styles of Rhymes. The time was nigh constant adrenalin
    Created endless rhymes calling my name this was my time to step up on the mic
    Spoke like a baby my first words were like .. (heavy breath) whispers in my head
    Spoke in silent dread had all delivery but mine was a shutter fell to my knees pieces
    Of the mind became clutter panic in the first 10 seconds to release a word only
    To forget the next my God i sound so Absurd! I walked off faced formed into a fake smile
    While telling myself that performance was vile with no true style
    Defeated and self beaten i was ready to go caught a lyft back home
    Thinking about my performance i question every thing i brought this
    Loud soul so itself in house to become dormant in rain and harsh weather
    Friends ask how i was doing i be like whatever until my friend notice something
    While were together he read my words to that of an sad open letter
    Looking towards (whatcha under the weather for?) i told him i dont have
    The drive no more with a form he looks over raising eye brows he said( tell me
    what happen and i’ll listen) Telled him i blew it at the spoken word competition
    ( You can let that define who you are) I respond that i wanted to rock To Gain applause
    (And i get you wanted all but while that’s the image you there was one flaw)
    What could it possibly be he smirked just to say (first practice makes perfect thats true in order to be you must believe and achieve ) Thought about the quote i can no longer deny my fearless
    Turned into flames in my eyes and told him i gave up too soon thanks for this talk as we
    Im going back to this competition and shootdown the competition with a BANG!
    Okay take i know what got to do stay ground keep it cool took one breath to
    Keep my cool then alright mic’s om me im to flow.
    Im came to start this revolution open your third eye
    To oversight mental hurdles and mental confusion
    Peel off the infectious wall see the mold now unfold
    Understand my people these dreams are crafted by the bold
    I believe in my deeds will outlive me showcase through the
    Screen i will never abandoned my creed to entertain those
    Plebs of there constant greed breaking chains for free
    Walking into mindsets step onto a mission echo’s in my head
    I crafted a pathfinder written in a straight path description
    I now realize my emotion fruition i discovered
    All of this is my Ambition
