When you can't go home, banished and rejected
Where ever you roam, ignored and neglected
When you're all alone with no place to go
When you're on your own with nothing to show
When the only one that has your back is your front
And when done, you're told what you lack, and to punt
You're stronger than they think, the war you've already won
In no longer than a wink, this poor life will be done
Take heart and lift up your eyes
This is only the start, shout your battle cries

- Comment from author about the poem: Punt is a term in American Football for when the team lacks confidence that they will be able to advance the ball they elect to kick it to the other team rather than give it over where it is at.

Thanks Gold I appr3eciate the comment
'And when done, you're told what you lack, and to punt'
that systemic, 'lack of belief'
in our capabilities, we each
have to overcome, everyone
assuming our offense
can't get it done, at crunch time
when deep inside us, a flame
blazes, yearning
to scream our defiance, ignore
'team' orders and shout to the world,
'give me a chance, to shut you up!'
and I'll rip your fckin throats out
just watch
my best is yet to come!
(inspirational words wise Poet, love it
thank you!)
