Failure

Stuck in Limbo

By Xavier JohnsonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I look at you

And say you can do better

Don't fold under pressure

Cause at the end of your journey there's always a treasure

When you were young

Had thoughts of greatness

But you're just another unsung

So shameless

Hatred built up from being nameless

Living in dreamland Vegas

Shit is so outrageous

Weakness in your heart

Mind needs life support

For all the times you've done fell short

Selling your soul might be the last resort

But hey life is a contact sport

No matter how many times you fall

It's about how many times you get up

It's up to you to become a winner

Or just be another runner-up

Kanye shrug

Losses make you stronger

Cause where are all of the lights

When it all falls down

Don't drown

You'll make it to Elysium

Even if you think your stuck on Oblivion
