HUSTLER’S MOTIVATION by Oletu Oghenenyore C.

HUSTLER’S MOTIVATION

i'm a homeless not hopeless 

fear is for the brave, they thrive 

failing is a lesson cos coward lack courage

stars need darkness to survive

i’m living not lost

so many hours on the road

so many miles to go

you need courage to learn how to cry

i’m loving less not lifeless

without it, nothing is real

so many wine in the world

nothing intoxicate than serendipitous breakthrough

i’m down not sick

stalk to Jack's beanstalk

wondering when the feel of arriving will come

and success staring back at me
