Good Grief Slam Champ

Good Grief Expunges Relief If you are not a Love Thief And lack self Belief Luck Faith Belief Positivity Change Progress And God willing At the break come early Dawn Yee shall awaken Re-Born Like a New-Born With renewed hope in your heart Eternally grateful and thankful For a Second Chance A shot at Redemption To Dispel the common Bar Room Myth You wasted your Natural Potential Because you lacked both the Character and Mettle To become a True Contender That Fan's never got the Opportunity to Remember The Guttersnipes have enough people to hate on Let these verses be rather an inspirational Poem Show em what your made of Champ If not for them But so that the new young pretenders Who wish to walk a mile in your shoes Take heed of your mistakes And what makes or breaks A Shot at the Title Not you thought you were entitled too But you were willing to put your life on the line for And whether you have it or not ? The Rest is then up to you my Son Through Rounds 1 to 10 And then and only then It will be up to fate to decide What you get out versus what you put in And if you are no longer a Boy A Man have become my Son God Speed the very best of Luck And remember if you are to come unstuck If you give everything you have to give And are found wanting So long as afterwards you can look yourself in the mirror Then even if you Lost You can still be declared Ultimately the Winner If you fought from the Heart
