Unwavering Ambition

Unwavering Ambition - By: Jordan Stubblefield As an African American teen Ambition is my thing. Drive—I can’t live without… Helps me achieve goals giving me clout While I imagine being stranded on a deserted island alone It will be my goal to make the island my throne When my head is spinning and my thoughts are on the brink Drive and determination helps me think Walking through life each and every day, My ambition has helped me along the way. No matter the challenge, with my zeal to excel, I truly believe I cannot fail. Failure is only relevant if I don’t try— So I’m always striving even when I don’t know why Whether on a deserted island or going through a life storm My drive and motivation are beyond the norm. Sometimes life seems unfair and it’s hard to feel alive That’s when I pray for spirit filled drive. It’s important to strive towards my goals and never give up Keep pressing through, even when I’m down on my luck. At times self-doubt occasionally passes through my head Then I remember my life matters and that I have a purpose instead So when society tries to keep me in a box and limit my drive I have discovered the key that makes me thrive. Something you might have picked up while you listened, The thing I would bring is my unwavering ambition.
