Destined 2 Make It

No matter what it takes

By savage writerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

My soul is so exhausted

I feel like the world around

me is beginning to shut down

Head is spinnin’ n’ it could slam

into the table at any given second

However, I don’t want

to quit using this utensil

Like once I get

goin’ there is no way

I’m gonna calm down

My drive to continue

pushing limits beyond what

I could usually handle

is keeping me awake

I am destined to make it

no matter what it takes

Even if I must lose

the arm I write with,

I know how to use the other one

Ambidextrous, children

How’s that for a neat trick?

I don’t see myself

chilling any time soon

Yeah, of all those

who reached the top

There were hundreds

of thousands that didn’t

I’m determined to

continue my ascent

No matter what it takes,

I am destined to make it

Sometimes you’re going

to miss a few meals

Sometimes you’re going

to skip sleep

Sometimes you’re going to lose

everything you thought was yours

When it’s all said and done, you’ll

be glad it ever happened cuz’

being down and

out taught you humility,

never forget your role

or step out of line

That’ll be where you’ll

end up like the beginning

Don’t you remember?
