this is how the shit goes down
me with pen and paper in hand
parts of me wish i would just give up
but to fight my determination is too tough
similar to my intense desires
my imagination, he says, truly inspires
not every single person i meet
but enough to say these occurrences repeat
sparking waves of motivation
across this convenience-obsessed nation
one of my role models says to be the change you want to see
its all i can do, hoping to spread his message like a disease
just in case this is my only time here
i will live this life without regrets and without fear.
