I can't tell if your my friend,
Neither am I going to pretend.
From our friendship being born.
Maybe you labeled it as scorn;
The only thing that had a label
Cause we had no title.
I was trying to follow principals of the bible
Both in my life was vital.
Until I let one fade out the other
One would be gone if it wasn't for my brother.
Who kept me on the same motion
That was once clouded with emotion.
Thus I decided to take notion,
Of my true love and devotion.
If I'm going to make progression,
I can't continue to have transgression.
Which is as easy as finding x in a algebraic expression;
Sometimes I tend to build up aggression.
Then I get in my feelings sending me into a recession.
Of course I might stumble
But will I catch myself or let me fumble.
What I did during my first meet
I was there to compete
Didn't want to taste defeat
Even when I trip I still managed to run on the balls of my feet.
Fighting and striving
Motivation was driving.
No I didn't place.
But I was ready,
Head up for my next time to race.
