The Idea Of Greatness: Ep #1
if it's the goodness you enjoy
then why not reach for greatness
you may not get 'there'
but the lesson is in the journey
right?
push the envelope indeed
test not the limits...test your limits
know your lane and
ride that shit til the wheels fall off
simple enough advice
but please do not cross the
boundaries of your moral compass
you have no further to look
that the tragedy that befell
the ambitious
making back door deals
with entities they have little
innerstanding of
placing debts upon the heads
of unwitting loved ones
just a consequential default of
their own seedy choices
payment is always due
for the life they have chosen
living examples of what not to do
never juxtaposing
'how bad do you want it' against
'is it really worth it?'
''you could be so much more''
''have so much more''
yes you can
but if you take 'those' offers
they'll fill you with all the trappings
while they empty out your coffers
one agonizing day at a time
turn your life into a coffin
then enters the pushers
who'll nudge you closer and closer
to the edge of suicide
you decide..
which numbing agent you'd prefer
which symptom do you wanna
treat first
anxiety..depression
sleeplessness...
all these sporadic mood swings
inviting so many visitors
taking up residence inside
your human sleeve
wearing your five senses in
such gluttonous fashion
wearing you the fuck out
with no relief in sight
all because you chose escapism
as your first option
where there's a cornucopia of
cocktails awaiting you
accompanied by a wide variety of
cocks in your tail
honoring you debt on the back end
or you can stick your cock
in some strange tails
skinny dip in seedy pools
then tell some strange tales
in the aftermath
living the high life
getting high off an endless
supply of party favors
until the flavor of life fades
from your tongue
and sleep is no longer a
haven for rest
just a pit stop where entities
wait for you
hopping on and off of you
passing you around
through the night
bastardizing your dreams
you become a ghost
in your own shell
created your own hell
signing contract after contract
all because you let someone
else sell to you
a definition of greatness
with a blank price tag in tow
then why not reach for greatness
you may not get 'there'
but the lesson is in the journey
right?
push the envelope indeed
test not the limits...test your limits
know your lane and
ride that shit til the wheels fall off

dearest Naajir this write is what I think about
when I consider being a famous author
I haven't pushed myself for this type of greatness
because I'm afraid what it might mean...
under Crimsin I wrote about it short change ho
about selling your emotions your very soul...
but not like this you've really put a lot of thought here
and well you should dearest Soul Soldier
you very well could be famous one day...

''when I consider being a famous author

yep...i totally get you..
shit..i've fallen victim to enough entities in this
'simple' life of mine's..my soul could never
endure the 'opulence and extravagance' of pop culture
where the vultures want you to keep upping the ante..

I hear you Soul Soldier you know I was actually considering submitting to some of the publishing houses and the stress of that alone the idea of making it made me snap... I completely went off the deep end... still it may come knocking at our doors someday...
be ready Soul Soldier...
love me
be ready Soul Soldier...
