Keep Striving

by Levi James Baldwin III



I tell myself to keep striving...
to achieve my dreams everyday.
We're gonna make it by perseverance...
once I find a way.
Just keep your head held high...
when struggling from hussle to hussle.
Keep what's between you ears sharp...
exercise it like a muscle.
Once you stop believing...
you allow your dreams to die.
Your a souless creature walking the earth...
shedding no tears when you cry.
Tears would mean emotion and for...
emotion you must have heart.
Beating passionately inside your chest...
willing to finish everything you start.
I tell myself this daily...
while looking at a star speckled sky.
When things don't go my way...
I never question why.
I know my time is coming...
I just have to keep striving until then.
Success is a belief in your heart and mind...
only TRUE BELIEVERS can win.
