Poetry Is A Gateway Drug to Success

Location

I've been searchin' the web for months now

Looking for someone to be my cash cow

someone to pay off that tuition

and clear the way for me to complete my mission

 

I know the likelyhood of me winning is a million to one

I know the likelyhood  of me succeeding is almost zero

but that's not what I'm here for

I wasn't born just to hit that reset button the second the game hits level 2

I wasn't planning on quitting when I was the one strong sperm in my father's.....um, long goose

I wasn't created to quit when the going ets tough

I was born to say "Hell NO! STAND UP!"

 

I'm a rebel at heart, but a passionate saint

I'm polite to my elders

I hardly ever say "ain't"

I like to sit in my room and tik-tak on the computer

And let all the letters on my keyboard know I’m their ruler

Setting fire to the web

posting lyrics

never drab

always fab

fabulous~

 

Now that may seem fruity to some but that ain’t, or isn’t the point

The point is the point you see

The point is/are the limericks I breathe

The words I spout, the fire I spill

Spill because holding  all this in is a crime

At least I hope it is

 

Because I wanna hear everyone else’s fire

I want to feel them burn those tires

Well, I guess I’d smell it first

That burning rubber

Like holding that foot on the gas as you take off

Fast and Furious

First gear’s click

Second gear’s shift

Third and Forth are a given once you light up that engine called the paper

 

This world is full of it

This lyrical beat call rhyme and rap

Called poetry

Called crap

But those who call it crap don’t know

Don’t know how far we’ll go

 

When We Rhyme Like We’ve Never Rhymed Before

Your poem is so relatable. Maybe I'm just in a similar spot, but I felt a connection to your words.

This is amazing. I'm speechless... I was reading and then it made me rethink I even had a chance to win any scholarship because no matter what all these poems have true value but it's something that draws attention or draws fans that usually hits the mark and makes an outcome. I relate to this poem and I just want to take a few claps slowly to say BRAVO! Skills dude, skills.
