I Make Them Feel

I will never sugar coat these words,
Have you heard?
I am motivated,
Concentrated,
I got this,
Dance under the rising sun,
You see,
I have yet to be-
What everyone thinks I should,
But even if I could,
Who says I would?
I am defined,
But no one,
I am refined,
In my own way,
What do you say?
Is there an excuse?
For not giving one hundred,
It rains bullets in Philadelphia,
Why chance it?
Strive for better,
When the weather-
Is against you,
Do right,
Do right for you.
