    Won't keep me down

     It's hard to rise up
    when everyone around you
    has their knees in your back,
    trying to push you back down.
    They're shooting bad,
    they sure ain't living right,
    they see you're working hard
    trying to make it,
    and for them, thats a hard sight.
    Damn you gotta struggle already,
    and now you gotta fight?
    I have been at the bottom
    but I'm slowy rising to the top,
    and if I gotta fight everday,
    I'm still not gonna stop!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
