What You Scared For?


Hands shaking 

back breaking

head aching

hearts pounding

One shot

a moment of a life time

Don't miss make a swish this is the moment of your life line

Agony of guilt displeasure of failure 

Slave to the game looking at the board

thats where you want your name to be forged

but too scared to dig deep into your roots

like why you being a chicken George

Only get one chance before it's through 

like a suicide bomber they already know what you about to do

so what are you bomb or a firework 

a bullet or a dud

Are you that AK with a full clip or you that revolver with 6 rounds

will you show your greatness and walk on water or will you be like a fat kid and drown

All you need is light

that light saver will have you walking on the sky 

at night through the mist 

closed fist staring at the abyss

with a smirk of confidence 

Aim for perfection 

seek greatness

nothing in this world is greater than you then the one who made it
