AMBITION

I am family, a son, a Brother, a friend, a student, a mentor, a Motivator, a helping hand, a MAN of my word, a Fashion Statement, an entrepreneur, a Brand, a POET, optimist, philosopher, philanthropist, a DREAMER, a story to be told and a LEGACY to be left. Allow me to reintroduce myself; I AM AMBITION...

                            I am: Sirr Samuel Leslie

Misconceptions of the unknown

I am not shameful; I am not disgraceful, for I am not ignominious

I am not narrow –minded, I am not dumb

 For I am not illiberal

I am not low in order, I am not low in rank, I am not low in quality

For I am not inferior

I am not incorrect, I am not a mistake

For I am not erroneous

I am not injurious, I am not harmful, I am not the enemy

 For I am not inimical

I am not whom you think or whom you say

 I am everything you think I am not

 

Masked by Smile                                                                                                                                               

                                   Mangled in the corner by the hatred and dismay

Crushed beneath the pressure of your eyes, your ways

Yet not a soul has the force or courage to conquer

Take down this beast whose evil makes one wonder

Whether or not the miracle of life

Should exist in this sphere of strife

But this creature is masked by smile and laughter

Though known by many what’s really under?

Strength in numbers but there’s strength hidden in the dark
