Potential

You have all the potential in the world,
I've always heard this saying,
But what does it really mean,
What are you trying to say

That I'm withholding fibers of myself,
Secretly locked within,
Afraid to share it with the world,
Not for fear of failing

But for fear that my ideas come with a price,
And I'm not willing to sell my soul,
To reach a fabricated goal,
That makes me lose pieces of my sanity

So yes I do have all the potential in the world,
But I'm not lazy nor am I withholding,
I'm simply vying my time,
Until I build the right foundation

To showcase all that I have to the world,
On my time with my psyche intact,
Motivated for myself to share my potential,
And do it on my accord

Where I control every aspect of me,
So the next time you speak of my potential,
Know that I'm planning something monumental,
On a grand scale to showcase it,
I'm just playing chess and making the right moves for myself first.
