Determination


Determination is one of my greatest Quality's
I just want so much in life
So that's why I strive 
I don't know about you 
But I see failure as something I will not do
Determination is power 
& it takes more than hours 
It takes years
Sweat 
Guts
Mistakes 
Courage 
And Motivation 
A wise man once said 
"don't underestimate a quiet man determination" 
I am that quiet man. 
All I think about is how I'm going to win 
All in my mind is the words
I can 
I can 
I can 
I am a plane that runs of the fuel of determination 
And I'm ready to take off, if you want to go take me hand
I believe that in life if you want something u have to go get it 
Yeah it's gone be hard or your going have obstacles but that is what test your determination 
Nothing is free in this world today 
So there's no time to play 
Cause this life is a relay 
You have to push push push 
Past your limits 
Past the ending 
Come on it's the bottom of the 9th inning 
Are u gone strike out ? 
Or are u going to wipe out
Wipe out every criticism that someone said to u 
Make it past your obstacles that U went threw 
And stumble on your dreams 
Which would be right in front of you 
To be honest 
If I haven't had determination I wouldn't be who I am right now 
Where I realized that I can write my own destiny 
And Create a legacy 
My life is going to be a melody 
Living so pleasantly 
I know I'm not a super hero but determination is my greatest power 
It's free 
It's me 
And it's a master key 
To a door no one can open except I 
Don't waste time procrastinating because time not granted 
And dreams and goals are not handed 
so take the seed if determination band plant it
