Life's A Gamble

The stakes are always high.
Higher when you fighting to survive.
High as Mount Everest when you fighting to get by.
But who's betting?
If not you, who's vetting?
They'll only influence you to fold.
You'll only be a failure if you do what you're told.
You can rest when you're old.
In this moment you're meant to be bold.
Appreciate every time you hear the word No.
That just means the universe is setting you up for Gold.
Welcome rejection with open arms.
Offer negativity a pandora box of your finest charm.
Trust it'll bring you more good than harm.
Everybody wants to make it.
But the prize is for the ones who take it.
Stay focused, don't break it.
You're the epitome of greatness.
You're the descendants of ancestors who faced pure hatred.
Guaranteed your journey is sacred.
You're what's at the end of that underground railroad.
Before you kiss success you'll meet a bunch of toads.
From easy to hard, you'll play life in many modes.
Don't forget to be grateful for all obstacles towards your goals.
Imagine the cliff you dodged when you came across a block in the road.
Imagine how no contact saved you from going rogue.
Isolation is a privilege.
Sometimes you think better outside the village.
If not you'll leave your mind in a valley.
Surrounded by clutter and darkness like an alley.
Keep praying.
That's the only thing I can keep saying.
I learned God hears every word.
Our way of listening just can sound slurred.
You're never alone.
If you were the skeleton, your angels are the skin on your bones.
You want a beautiful life?
Roll the dice.
Take the risk.
You won't know what song will play until you play the disc.
Raise the volume, even if you hate the song.
You'll learn something whether you're in the right or wrong.
Create something that'll leave a piece of you along.
Something you can be proud of even when you're long gone.
A wise woman told me if you touch just one person, then job well done.
Out of every advice you hear, that's the one.
Now I'm no longer playing that game with my life, depression and the gun.
No more Russian roulette.
I'm going machine to machine placing bets.
For greatness? I'm definitely up next.
I'm going for the climax and not just during sex.
Some people won't see it coming if you sent it over a text.
They'll get the picture when you hit the jackpot.
When the music blares from your winning slot.
Congratulations in advance for finally claiming your spot
