The Formative Years
I show up with intentions,
I show up prepared
I show up at the doors,
But then forget I ever cared
Passionless people,
In a passionless place
Who’ve already decided,
To drop out of the race
Scared off by notions,
Of failure and defeat
The passionless minds,
Just can’t take the heat
Deep in their minds,
They wish to succeed
Born with mindsets,
Of entitlement and greed
You mustn't blame them,
But blame our society
Who feed us the idea,
We need cash and commodity
Not many escape,
Not many survive
No many go on,
To lead their own lives
It is our job,
Our duty, our right
To be ur own person,
While still taking flight
You can still succeed,
And reign supreme
Just be sure you aren’t,
Living someone elses dream
