Less Traveled


I am not just one To sit and bask in the sun I fight for what's mine And that all works out just fine Many will succeed in this I doubt I will even make the list But I choose to fight I attempt to hold the light If i can get out there The profits I will share I truly try the best I can But all I am is a fan If I make this a win I will share with the closest of kin The news will travel far Maybe even to be a new star But for now I stay low and not at my best So others can easily challenge and win his test I can say I gave it a try This way that I don't lie Many think they are better it makes their heart flitter Let them believe as they want There are many who will taunt So all I will say is to give a shot To the less fortunate and the blot The ones who can't write And also those who lose the sight Don't give up on your dream For things aren't what they seem Stay on that path and you will find That other's paths will wind I offer this advice as a friend And good tidings I do send Listen if you truly do wish For the prize is on your dish Just try your hardest and never give up After all, the money is in your cup Just fight for what is truly yours After all, your ceiling is someone's floor Prove your better and your worth Take the challenge and give birth to a truly epic creation and don't let your abilities fall to starvation Write like no one is able to know Write like the beauty of "The Crow" Write the best because you will win Either that or poetry will say FIN
