Young Colorado music artist/poet trying to get a start in the world.
Everyone wants to be rich and famous Get a career and make money and become an idol. But there ambition and truth don't mix. Ambition is wonderful and it gives you dreams of the future. But ambition is all dreams, and truth is simply true. That's why ambition and truth don't mix. Truth makes you a realist, not to be confused with a pessimist. Being true to yourself unlocks real motives and goals. But truth dreams little So truth and ambition don't mix. Ambition says dream! Dream on! Truth replies, some dreams are only dreams. Ambition is on your side, and is your biggest fan. Truth is your coach, and tells you to be mindful. Ambition and truth can be driving and pushing and motivating. But ambition and truth don't mix.

I get this feeling in my chest. Almost like a pain; the same pains that lingers after a fresh wound. It's the same feeling I get when, I'm in fear. Like a pressing on my chest and A tightening rope on my stomach. But I excuse it distastefully and with haste. Then I get this feeling in my stomach; Like a million butterflies inside, like a constant tickling but It isn't funny this time. This is the same feeling I get when I'm nervous. The pressure to act, the time is now. But uncertainty of, "what action to take" is overwhelming. But still I brush it off methodically and with grace. And then I get this thought in my head; The same thought that comes about when I know that it's Game time, time to perform, time to act, The calm before the storm. But I'm confused. And I can't channel my feelings and I start to go mad and I can't control myself and I'm blind with rage and thought and emotion and my heart starts to race and I can't hold it in and then, I'm calm. I now I know what I must do.
