To Myself


Take your chance, do it

No one will do it for you

If you want it bad,

Prove it with your actions,

Not with false statements

That have no backbone in them.

You've gotta be able 

To sacrifice things that matter,

Things like playing games,

Wasting money on dumb things,

Or using spare time

To be productive to improve

Yourself in anyway.

If you can't do that, no one

Will make that choice for

You, you've gotta be able to decide,

Whether or not you

Really want it bad or not.
