Greatness

A poem about ambition, resilience and choosing possibility.

You told me it was impossible, you defined your limitsI achieved greatness, I guess I defied mineYou said it was over, you saw the redlineI kept on going, thank God I’m colour blind
I failed the first time and you told me to quitI guess you don’t know the true meaning of gritDiscourage me again and you might collide with a brickDon’t dim my light just because you can’t find yours
I delayed gratification and you called me slowI’m intentional with my life, I don’t go with the flowThe day you start building, my cup will be on overflowAnd when you’re ready, ill teach you all you need to know
I sewed a seed and you want to co-sign on the harvest?There is enough for everybody, it’s an open marketI’m almost there, let’s pull out the red carpetYour words can’t stop me, you thought I was an easy target?
I’m going to do all I can to be the bestNot to be better than the rest, I’m doing this for meAnd maybe then, everybody would seeThe endless possibilities to achieve greatness.
