SPRING POETRY - NEVER PRETEND!!!!!!!

NEVER PRETEND!!!!!!!

Lack of sleep, stomach grumbling, slight headache starting to settle in 

Still determined, still motivated despite feeling like I got knocked over like a bowling pin 

Was down for a minute, lost sight of my goal, but it seems like I’ve got a hold of my second wind 

Never quit attitude, can’t afford to lose desire, if you think that’s bad, then I guess I’ll continue to sin 

I was never one to give up too easy, always thought that life is like a math problem so there is always a solution 

At times felt stripped of my confidence like how a pimp gets a woman into doing prostitution 

But it doesn’t matter what we believe in but as time passes we ourselves go through evolution 

And it’s for us to learn from this game of life, in order to win, we have to practice proper execution 

Took a few Bayer aspirins, head still hurting but I'm wondering is it really because of stress 

Is my mind playing games with me, am I being used like a pawn like this is a game of chess 

I need to know for myself am I making the right choices, am I really on the road to success 

Am I blinded by other people endeavors? And is my subconscious trying to get me to be my best 

It seems as if I'm finally seeing clearly now all the pain is definitely going away 

My mind is a bit clearer now; I see the path I need to take to finally be on my way 

I’ve been hit and fell down, took a few blows, confidence been shattered and felt some dismay 

But it has made me stronger, tougher than I was before, now I’m ready for whatever comes my way 

Don’t ever think life is easy, the struggles and obstacles are always around the bend 

And they come at no better time when all seems well, and you never expect it to end 

And even through those times it may seem difficult and leave you feeling lonely without a friend 

But always remember that we control our own destiny, we can be all we can be, so always be true to yourself and never pretend
