WANTING TO BE ME

SEE EVERYTIME I SPIT
I'M TRYING TO BE AT LEAST 1/4 OF THE POET YOU ARE
BUT THATS NOT ME!!!
SEE MY POETRY IS A SPUR OF THE MOMENT THING!
SOMETIMES COMING TO ME LIKE A DISTANCE MEMEORY!!
SEE I STRIVE FOR GREATNESS IN EVERYTHING I TOUCH
BUT THIS ISNT NO GLITTER AND GOLD DREAM
AND I'M NOT LOOKING FOR NO FAME!!!
AND I NOT TRYING TO WIN A RACE!!
ARE PLAYING A GAME!!!
WRITING POETRY TO ME IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO RELEASE SOME OF MY PAIN!!!
IN EACH POEM I WRITE
I'M JUST GIVING YOU A TINY PEACE OF ME
A LITTLE GLIMSE INTO THE LIFE OF WANNABE
YEAH I WANNABE GREAT!!!!!
BUT GREATNESS DOESN'T COME EASY
ITS LIKE I SAID EARLIER
EVERYTIME I SPIT
I'M TRYING TO BE 1/4 THE POET YOU ARE
NOT REALIZING THAT 1/4 THE POET THAT YOU ARE ISN'T 1/10 THE POET I CAN BE
I MAY NEVER BE THE POET WHO CHURNS OUT 4 OR 5 POEMS A NIGHT
BUT WITH EVERY POEM I WRITE YOU WILL
BE TOUCHED BY THE GREATNESS SEPPING OUT OF ME
YEAH YOU CAN CALL ME JUST ANOTHER WANNABE
BUT IF BEING A WANNABE MEANS BEING ME THEN THATS ALL I WILL BE
BUT AT LEAST I CAN BE HAPPY JUST BEING ME
