"JUST WORDS"
  by mizemotion


Now I'm no Emily Dickinson,
But I can write a few lines.
And you sure as hell can believe,
That these words I speak are all mine.
Thought about all of them carefully,
From the top of my lil' dome.
And when I'm older you best believe,
I'll be bringing the bacon home.
Now I can lay down a few notes,
Even though I'm no Beyonce.
And I'm not a motivational speaker,
But I can sway the crowd my way.
I could never knowingly seduce a man,
Even though I've got charm.
I sure as hell ain't a model,
But they be wishing I was on their arms.
I'm just an average girl,
The ones you could find next door.
But don't get it twisted Mr,
This here ain't no whore.
And even though I'm no Shaquille,
I shoot from a three point line.
I'm not the type to be mean,
But mess with me and you'll go home crying'.
I don't like the spotlight,
But I'll be making my way.
But just be sure that in the future,
You'll see me on screen someday.
My talents are just in infancy,
Like a seed reaching for the sun.
And when I reach full bloom,
You best be like Forest and run.
I'm not braggin about my talents,
I'm just trying to make you see.
That all everything that your reading,
Baby this is all me.
I'm stubborn as hell, but passionate too,
I fight for what I believe.
And all the dreams I have in my future,
You best know that I'll achieve.

Inspiring and tremendously written, I believe if more and more people read this they could find themselves dreaming the same future as you and achieving them, I firmly believe that if it's dreamable, it is for damn sure doable if thats a word...
