PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I can't look to the future- I don't know if I'll make it,

When I sit and think about it- I don't think I can take it.

It's been killing me lately- The bullshit and debating,

Trying to spread love but all I'm feeling is hating.

The attacks are blatant- Assassination of character.

Living day to day- Because tomorrow seems so far,

They say they got my back but I ain't seen it so far.

They wanna see me fall- Tumble off my pedestal,

But I can't be held down- The talent is incredible.

My success is inevitable- It's just a matter of time,

This ladder that I climb- It's missing a couple steps,

Gaps between here and there- But I haven't gave up yet.

Too many things to achieve- Too many people to prove wrong,

All the assholes that didn't believe- They never wanted to see.

Me with accomplished dreams- I've had teachers tell me I'm nothing,

Instead of planting seeds- Of knowledge in my head,

Tried to corrupt me instead- Wanted to mentally see me dead.

Lay in my permanent bed- So my stories couldn't be read.

And my experiences couldn't be told- My pain couldn't be related to,

And my soul would be sold- For a very cheap price,

But I choose Life- So I fight through this fight,

All the negativity and bullshit- But people try to pull shit,

They wanna borrow my thoughts- Take my words and twist them,

Then my authenticity is lost- Being the best comes with a cost.

Everyone wants to be you- They realize they can't,

So they wanna repeat you- Then they try to beat you.

At this game you've mastered- These words are my offspring,

They will never be a bastard- 'Cuz I father my thoughts,

I refuse to ever let my thoughts be lost- Amongst these fakes.

I will succeed in my life- No matter what it takes.

But I'm concentrated on now- Because tomorrow's so far away,

I live for the moment- As I walk through life- Day by day.
