"The Pressure" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 7/7/2013


" The Pressure... The PRESSURE ... !!! " Ya Know I'm Like … " V For Vendetta " ... When It Comes To … " The Pressure " ... !!! PRESSURES That Surround When You're On SHAKY Ground ... !!! For Some These Pressures Tend To Hound … !!! Because of Reluctance To Show Their TRUE Substance ... Refusing To Bend In The Face of PROBLEMS … !!! That Others Suggest ... You Should Try To DEFLECT … !!?!! But Why Change Your Purpose Because You Are Nervous … ?!? Such Actions Are Surplus To Facing Life's Hurdles … !!! Top Athletes KNOW How The Story Goes … EMBRACE The Fear And Get In Gear … !!! Then … DRIVE On THROUGH … !!! Use The Pressure As A Tool To Make SMART Moves … And Reduce Your Tension Cos' It's Just An Extension of The FEAR To Lose … Sometimes You Have To Lose To Show You How To Win … !!!!! Most Pressures Are A Test To Put You Under Stress … To Make YOU THINK … " Assess and Progress " … So That You Can Improve And Do Your Best … !!!!!! But Things Can Get TRICKY Ask … " Sabine Lisicki " … !!! Now That's No Diss … !!! She's A Major Finalist Who Plays Tennis .... But Has Yet To Enlist What It Takes To Win … ... " Major Championships !!! " … But If She Stays Strong I Don't Think It Will Be Long … Before Ms Lisicki ... Puts Right That Wrong … !!!!! See When You're CLOSE TO You're Dream … You .... HAVE TO BELIEVE .… !!!!!! You Can't Afford To CHOKE And That's NO JOKE … !!!!!! You Have To Stay STRONG Otherwise You'll Be Singing ... Tear Filled Songs ... Because of What Is STINGING … !!! The PRESSURE of ... Your Loss … !!!!! FOCUS Is The Key To OPENING The Valve … Where Pressure Is RELEASED And You Retain Your Towel ... !!!!!!!! Artists TOO …. KNOW This Is TRUE … !!!!! A Lot of Pressure Is Applied …. To Those Upsetters of The Lee Scratch Perry Type … !!!!! There's A Song That's Called ... " The Pressure " … That Was Made By … Hip Hop's Tribe … That Proves That It's A Quest To Put Pressures Aside … When You Are Given TESTS That Make You Feel …. " ALIVE " …. !!!!! Like Going On Stage With Things To Relate … That May UPSET … Because of Content … In Things You Say ... That Simply Relate … Your Views About People That Show Them To Be … " FEEBLE " … !!! Now Let Me TELL YA … THAT'S SOME PRESSURE … !!!!!! But NOT The Type From Which I Hide … !!! The Pressure of LIES Is A Much WORSE Ride … !!! Lying To Yourself Is Then The ... ULTIMATE CRIME ... !!!! The Types of Pressures Designed By Minds …. Who Love Adventures That AREN'T So Nice … !!!!! In Fact I'd Say or Venture … ?!? That ... When It Comes To PRESSURE … Within These Modern Times … It's Lies And YES DENIAL … That Causes People Trials … Just Like … " Death On the Nile " … !!! Hercule Shows When Pressure's KNOWN … That People Blow And Then EXPLODE ... Or Even Worse …. Turn On Their Fold ….. !!!!! See Pressure Allies Itself To Such Vibes … Which I Wouldn't Advise As A Guide To Good Times … !!! Now Pressure From Peers ... Can Lead To … " Veneers " … ?!? That Really … AREN'T GOOD … ?!!!? So Me I'd Adhere ... To Steering …............. " Well Clear " … !!! of Those In Your Hood ... Who Would If They Could … See You … Brought To Tears … !!!!! See It's All About YOU And How You Pull Through ... !!! The Moments That TEST Ya' When Options Look … "slender" … Just ALWAYS REMEMBER You Must NOT Surrender … !!! When Facing What We Know ... As Being …. …. " The Pressure " ….
