Tears of Success

We told at a young age You can make it as long, as we get good grades If we behave; We told hard work and dedication prevails We not told what will happen if we fail A life time's Aim for Lusting for fortune and fame Just to have it, so abruptly taken away We not told have much life can strain Drain every single bit of life away Have our dreams crushed to a size of a dusty grain Have our wounds cut openly, so the world can see our bloody mistakes Emotionally and physically scared But those scars Make you the person who you are For them critics to tell you, they don't like your art Its like having a rusty dagger put through your heart Your dreams and self believe torn apart To get right back up and march On regardless of your past Gives you heart So dream bigger Don’t be afraid to look at yourself in the mirror Get the courage to not be a quitter And stop yourself feeling bitter Through literature I paint them the picture I painted my own Self portrait I portrait-ed me as I see myself, a distraught face glum misfortune fate but looking back in mirror is a gorgeous face You got Self esteem problems your not being honest Don't listen to your sub conscience Fear is what kills dreams, just think positive Don't listen to these critics there talking nonsense I've taken loses I've taken being at the bottom I've promise To myself to never doubt myself by there comment In the hope one day they pay homage To the pain of my voyage... But the chilling truth critics only start hearing you the moment death is nearing you.
