Morals
I live in a world full hate,
Where violence always takes place,
I was taught better, but somehow forgot
As I look at my life I knew I could have done better,
But chose to be foolish and ignorant.
Was I brought up like this?
I grew up valuing respect because that’s all I had,
It got me far but somehow I got lost in middle of my tracks,
I know right from wrong, but continue to do wrong.
I often wonder why I make these silly mistakes.
When people look at me they don’t see what I am capable of doing but the baggage I carry behind me.
If I value my morals a little more, they will truly see I can be the best I can be.
This baggage I carry is not who I am,
I was pushed on by peer pressure to be something I’m not.
If I stand strong
I am sure to overcome this pressure,
And blossom like a sunflower I was put here to be.
I can have the world in the palm of my hand with one world.
My goal is to go beyond my measures and to help other people overcome the unstoppable power I suffered with.
My words of wisdom are its all in your head.
Be great and you too shall succeed.
Now let your flower patch blossom up with lilies and sunflowers.
I’m on the road to success but not on my own, I had people to help me get where I am today.
Stay focus, be true, and do whats right.
