Right now I feel like I'm scared to achieve <br />Like I'm scared to take a leap <br />Cause I know the fall could be steep <br />Take a chance to enhance my life <br />Cause right now I know it ain't right <br />I feel it- <br />Inside of me, I know I'm much better <br />Just revive me, so I can feel better <br />And at this point, I wanna believe <br />That theres something glorious set out for me <br />But I do not think I'm cut out for it <br />So I'm thinking that I may just not explore it <br />Life can be a b*tch, sometimes I wanna whore it <br />But that ain't me, and I know it, I'm better <br />Maybe I should just lay down this pen and pencil forever <br />My mind, hand pen and paper just do not go together <br />I'll never be the man that I think I can be <br />With pen in hand, but they say never say never <br />So slow down <br />I gotta be honest with me <br />Is the matter in which I write really me? <br />Some of it yeah, other frankly, no <br />So I'll erase half the stuff that I ever wrote <br />Or burn it <br />With the real stuff that I have <br />Cause at this point I've learned that <br />You want somethin'? You gotta earn it <br />And in my heart of hearts, I am positive <br />Me as of late, isn't how I wanna live <br />So I'm changin' it <br />And the bar now? <br />I'm raisin' it <br />And every good feeling I get now? <br />I'm savin' it <br />Cause when it comes to life I dont have much more room <br />To be hatin' it <br />I guess this could be the makings of Greatness<br /><br />Jared Bradford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/changing-me-2/
