So imagine buying something super expensive… right
And if someone comes near it
You get super defensive… Like
hold up back up watch it
Because it's not common
Every moment you observing
And guarding it
They get close
you block it
And people notice and acknowledge it
But when it comes to your self
You less protective of your body
Than an object
Think about it
Knowing your Worth is a strength
Not everyone possesses
You're more possessive and progressive
Certain things you just clearly careless of
Not pressed or
out here worry about how to impress us
You're confident and tolerant
Perceived in the fact that
this is why you're successful
It's no book you have to read
No Psychic you have to see
You don't hav to get buff in the gym
Or cut on your favorite artist
And pick up sum stuff from them
You just have to be sincere or
Stay motivated in studying
In what you working your career for
See things more clearer
Youre a champion! you're a star! You're a winner!
this is all a mindstate
Not luck
Because you don't have to be rich
To treat yoself as such
Before you go out into the world
Plan your desires and decisions
Because You have alot to consider
And remember
And realize that the most valuable thing
You can find is not in a store
But the mirror
Know your worth

Calvin Graves Poem
Life has a cycle
And motivation is the core
Question is……
Where do you get yours?
Im talkin bout that drive in you
What's in your mind to choose
The right grind to move
You into the right direction
Because of the reflection
Intercepts and combines into
The energy u needed for your achievements
Inside it grew
Into something bigger
That you designed it too
This right now is the time that you
Use that push and just
Find that boost
And remind the youth
That everything is not about gaming
and the internet
It's about your intellect
To show signs of proof
So you can provide the new
Generation with the information
It needs to shine in school
No longer tied to the porch
You can climb dat roof
You can be anybody want
Don't hide that truth
Apply to that college
Make good money
Show em you worth it
Become a good person
Bless those who have to walk
And waiting to be picked up
At the bus route
Take that cruise trip
Ask that crush out
Take changes and use advantages
That you have
The door you have a foot in
From the hard work that you put in
It's cliché how it sounds
Bout even when get down
You don't stop you keep pushing
Don't worry bout competitors
Being negative
Their on the outside looking in
Be patient
You're on a path to greatness
Jus Stay motivated

Calvin Graves Poem
I was raised with love
Alot of smiles from everybody around
Even now
But it was alot of affection
Being brought up by majority women
Gave me the wrong impression
Because while they was giving me
hugs And kisses
I'm over here enjoying every minute
They failed to show me the difference
Meaning
That this is the act of all women
And it wasn't
Misguided no sense of direction
And I had to learn a valuable lesson
To not expect this from all females
Receiving rejection everyday
And being pushed away
Because of the way I show love
And it burns
It's because the way they were raised
They were not taught to giv it bac in return
My only concern
Is why I wasn't warned
Why was I raised to believe this
Why didn't I know is the question
Yal could of showed me the other side
At least as a reflection
Then teach me the correction
Instead yal jus made me believe
That the love you show
Is the same you shall receive
But my generation women don't agree
Leaving me guessing for the connection
I'm not a Saint I make mistakes
There's no such thing as perfection
And when you do wrong things
Karma gives no exceptions
But yal didn't warn me so I didn't expect this
The misconception
I feel betrayed I wanna change
But I'm afraid it's 2 late
I'm stuck this way
I was raised with love
And I hate it every single day
