Standing Ovation
January 31, 2017
They say hard work pays off
Tell that to everyone who never made it far
I don’t want to hear what you say
You are like night and I day
I don’t want to hear I can’t
I will
I make first impressions with sweaty fingertips
Blood, sweat, tears, that’s a baby saying
I put my life into this
I guard the borders of the area on my stage
It is mine
I own it
I work for it
I die for it
I breathe it
What I create might get destroyed in a minute
But what the fun without a little challenge?
