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
