Pride

Customized shoes and a leather coat
That’s the swagger of this poet
Forward is where I’ll stir this boat
My journey is like the dead Sea 
I will always float
If you don’t like this goat 
Than swallow your pride 
And let it reminisce in your throat 
Living life like a goon 
I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon
Sleepless nights and hustling 
From dusk till noon 
I feel like the man on the Moon
Knowing I’m far 
But kept telling myself I’ll get it Soon
I am a poetic tycoon
