Power Struggle

 

I’m sorry for my ways

I’m sorry my actions made you turn the other way 

Ain’t no other way for me to be

Life is hard

A lot harder than what was expected

Life is not supposed to be about struggle 

We have the power to achieve

We have the power of knowledge

We have the power to set goals

Aim high

Be proud of who you are

It is a power surge

A lightening bolt

Like fire and ice

Love is gold 

Power is attachment

Attachment is bonded

Power to the people!

Flashbulbs goin’ off

Walkin’ in a crowd

Everybody screamin’ my name

Glitz and glamour ain’t all it’s cracked up to be

All that glitters ain’t always gold

Did I choose the right path?

Am I really supposed to be here?

Living this moment...fulfilling a dream

Wanna quit

Wanna run

Just wanna give up

Is it really worth all of this for a piece of paper?

Starting to fall

Starting to lose hope

Starting to lose faith

Frustration and anger gettin’ the best of me 

Gotta keep fightin’

Gotta keep prayin’ 

But all this hopin’, wishin,’ and dreamin,’

is starting to wear thin

Mama says, "Keep fightin’, stand strong, don’t matter what people think. Your first book just dedicate to me."

It feels good forming words that make folk hunger for more

Gotta realize I’m not the only one

No one knows my heart

No one ever takes the time to truly get to know

It’s just a struggle

A power struggle

Uniting to be one

A little hard to comprehend so im gladly gonna read somemore.. good framework tho' ,, enjoyed that.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
