Eternal Success

Shaking my money maker

Moving on up in every way

I think of those who live on the opposing side of life

They do so because that is all that they know

I met some awesome people in the zone when I went homeless for that one week last Spring

I just could never be a part of living that way for too long

It isn't me

I must succeed

I must get closer to living the American Dream

I have all of the knowledge and tools that I need already

A steady income is here to stay forever this time

I refuse to be tested again

I will never again be apprehended after being told that I am supposedly committing some crime

The law officials that I met were of an entirely different breed and I know that I am meant to be on that side of the tracks

I want to have stacks of Benjamins on my pallet

I want to drive a decent car

I want to be able to meet friends out for dinner, to be able to have drinks out at the bar

I was certainly ghetto there for awhile and it has been way longer than enough

I don't want to struggle

I am too damned tough for that

I want to submit my writing to literary magazines

I want to read my poetry to others out loud

I want to get up on stage and sing at the top of my lungs

To share my voice with the on-looking crowd

This is a whole new millenium for Christ's sake and for His sake, I want to make him proud of me

I need to make my mark heavier on the world

I want my mother to eat all of her negative words

I have stood true to myself for all of these years

I am going to be heard and given proper respect

I am going to go out on dates with all these beautiful boys without those fucking witches trying to intersect me

I don't want to remember the past

Instead, I want to drink in every moment of the now

I want to keep marching to the beat of my own little drum without anyone trying to tell me how to live

I know that this is my time to shine because I have already mastered the art of giving

The pain of all of my past mistakes has been fading faster and faster away to black

The haters and traitors who I have been blessed to have known, I have disowned permanately today

I am under their relentless attack no longer

I am stronger each minute that my heart pumps the blood through my veins

I have broken my chains to beat them with , if need be

But, there won't ever be such a need for I will now be embracing success eternally.....
