Relentless
i fell in love at a young age
not knowing if we both were on the same page
i took up a adult responsibilities to earn everyone's trust
unfortunately not knowing it would end up in a bust
i was trying to uphold my vows with the upmost respect
in doing so i failed and that was hard to except
the desires of my heart no one could understand
how it was pulling at me and everything else was going bland
rendering myself relentless is all i could of done
living in the shadows of judgments i sometimes felt alone
sometimes i felt as though i was on display
to be provoked at any cause because down the line i was known to pay
i had an uncontrollable thirst for ambition beyond any admission
i had no time for baby steps of any virtue of patience
my willingness to be in front and pushed to the back
only left room again for my nature to be attacked
trying to build my career and progress with all success
has left my loved ones with so much to grasp and suppress
don't say i'm selfish and that i don't care
i have a urge to persevere and that i won't spare
relentless to whatever people thought i should do
i regulated my own life and came to terms with all truths
my personality has been targeted for being pushy and too forward
if i succumb to negativity anything i do will not be warranted
every action that i gave i received the wrong reaction
i stepped out of all those situations to gain my self-satisfaction
mistakes were made i regret them
i walked to fast i finally learned to crawl
