Best Strive Poems

Why shall I freeze my dreams?
Why can’t I let them flow?
While some maybe hopeless,
But some may tend to grow.

You find me as an ugly rock,
Some think I am a worthy stone,
But do you know who am I?
Just jumbled flesh and bone.

I have tasted many failures,
Still...

By Elton Camp

It would just be the end
If by words we do offend.

There’s the devil to be paid
If we call a spade a spade.

“Vertically challenged” means short.
“Horizontally challenged,” a fat sort.

“Nondiscretionary fragrance” means we stink.
“Living impaired” means your’re dead I think.

“Parasitically oppressed” it is styled
When...

Life is hard, tough, rough, like a brilo-pad
Growing up, street smart was all I had
I had no choice but to turn to the hood
It's difficult trying to change for the good
What do you do when there's nowhere to turn?
Before you decide, look back, what did...

STRIVE

You know to be proud of the skin you in to keep the decorum of a winner.
Let them see you smile when frustrated.
Prepare your way.
Empowering a form that distinguishes your person, many have known a covetous      
environment informs growth and...

Take a swing and knock it outta the park!
You can do anything you set your mind to!
Love your neighbor and all that jazz!
Those words still hold true today.

Don't cry you can do much better than them!
Today is the 1st day of the rest of your...

bleak tunnels hunger

for the slightest of sunshine

chip  into the rock

unleash the beast from its pit

quench it with sunshine’s embrace

I found the strength
walk forward in life
 Why crush my hopes and dreams?

I've got a job
Budget cuts layoffs 
Why work lose everything?


I’ve open doors
To be closed again
Where are all the good jobs?

No man is left, nobody is lost
Good time is there but struggle is all
You need, yourself, for you to haul
It is time to rise and face the brawl
Hindrance everywhere you get to own
No one is there to comfort your soul
Even the closest by them all
Will...

I strive for you
I see you at the top of a mountain
I feel you underground
And I'm following your presence 
Until I reach you

I share you with the world
So they know who you are
But only through a mythical story
A painted one
Because I see you so faint
A...

Its morning time
But getting up has no drive
Trying to keep my eyes open
I feel such heaviness

Heaviness! 
I don't know where it lies
Also am I not sure, of what?
Whether its there
But I feel it

Such heaviness in my eyes
Even the bright light
Shinning through my window
Is not enough...

I rejoice in my strife,
With dreams being my drive,
For there is no shortcut in life....

Keep me at arms length/ I cannot hold you.
I haven't the strength.
With wondrous eyes I use to see/ the magic amd will that lived within me.
Now filled with anxiousness and worry/when will this ever end?
I no longer wish to have the sensation/no longer want to...
