Glow to Grow
Childhood has begun to fade; finding your purpose is the aim.
The pieces of life spread apart like trinkets of a game.
Glow until you grow or until growing causes glowing.
Beginning higher education challenges everything you know.
Questioning the person who society has began to mold .
Interest become scarce and confusion becomes plenty .
The path has started to seem muddied and soon you’ve lost your way.
You never thought the most important thing in your life would become an “A”.
Not an A in the grade book per say but the “A” in Ambition .
The necessity of academic success begins with the word above.
Ambition stems from a predisposed expression of love .
Passion gives determination a vital shove in the right direction .
You ask yourself should you give up following every indiscretion .
A little voice squeals in your ear and reminds you that failure feeds off of fear.
So instead you use your shortcomings as ammunition .
This is a shot between the eyes of your ambition .
Close your eyes and imagine this.
A background with a focus that always fits.
Surrounding a light that you emit .
Its an endearing image to say the least.
College is the battle ground where knowledge and power meet.
Now its time to take a step back and remember the training from the past.
A match to light the flame of the frame that shapes your futures cast .
