Just a poem I wrote on my free time. It's my first time uploading.
Swirling thoughts, desperate dreams.

Useless ideas, failing schemes.

Running until your ribs ache.

Trying to decide who is real and fake,


Laughing at nothing, and crying in the rain.

Forgetting to appreciate the moments you gain.

The clock doesn't stop when life pushes you down.

Stand back up, and climb your way to the top of this town.


Life doesn't stop just because the sun doesn't shine.

Find yourself in the darkness and push the unbreakable line.

No one can stop you, they won't even try.

If you get off your butt and look them dead in the eye.


Put strength in your words and faith in your actions.

Use slander as motive, and doubt as traction.

To stay up on top, and never come down.

Power in speech, what a beautiful sound.
