Motivation - @AHumblefella

I am motivated by the teachers who tried to put me down,
Motivated by the fact that they could only see me as the class clown,
It is funny yet beautiful how I have managed to turn it round,
The kid who was dubbed a future failure who they saw as prison bound,
Is the same kid who now inspires and empowers the youth,
Giving them insights that the words of negative teachers are far from the truth,
Great ideas you never know when they’ll come to you,
Thats why this collabo with DTyler was written to motivate you,
That you have ability, talents that the world needs,
Using those gifts, changing the world should be part of your good deeds,
Because life with you, powers the life in me!!!
For the youth,
For the truth,
For the community,
For the person on their last legs of belief

I am motivated by doubt
I refuse to breathe any doubt air
So I’m motivated to figure it out  
I see challenges in my life as opportunities to display
Not the boy I was yesterday but the man I am today
When I was younger I was quiet and they confused it as being weak
Not knowing that I was observing, training and plotting against deceit
By the time they realized what was happening I was already at my peak
Now I stand before them tall, strong and successful with a voice that speaks
Volumes, the kind kind that will drown any haters within reach

I am motivated by seeing anyone chase their dreams with passion
I’m motivated by the powerful words of my bro Asser
I am motivated by those who admit their flaws but take action
I believe in believing in self
I believe in internal wealth, the kind you spend emotionally
I believe in the power of the heart and the mind
Moving together like poetry in motion
Simple yet elegant....wow, what a notion

Small voices can stand tall
When planted in your heart
The whispers can begin to
               GROW
And turn it into a spark that
              IGNITES
          YOUR PASSION
And amplifies your words
So they are never overshadowed
And they are always

There is something very soothing
About the beauty of a sea of stars
Sprinkled throughout the sky
Shining so bright
Lightening up the night

Whether you are reaching for the stars
Or gazing from afar
The energy they generate
Can reach out and touch your soul
It can rejuvenate your life
Fleet your ill thoughts
And make that moment feel just right

Whether you are wishing upon a star
Or hypnotized by the way it transcends light so far
It’s easy to be awestruck by its presence
It’s magnificent
Omnipresent
Its beauty is infinite

Every second of every day
That beauty is being shared
With someone somewhere

It is incapable of lying
Its brutal truth is frightening
Its honesty is refreshing  
Standing before it requires courage
Because it’s a reflection of you
IT IS A MIRROR
And Looking at it and believing
What you see
Is one of the bravest things
You will ever do

If ever you happen to lose your faith
Look to fate
Like love at first sight
Or the miracle of life
To rejuvenate
If ever you happen to lose your way
Then close your eyes
And let your heart guide
You through life’s maze
If ever you happen to need a friend
Turn to someone willing to lend
A shoulder...a ear......a hand
To help you through your circumstance
It takes a lot of pride to do it yourself
But even more in courage to ask for help
And a bigger person to lend yourself
Regardless of whether we help
Or are being helped
Because the perseverance of life
Is the greatest accumulation of wealth

Colors have faded away
All I see is shadows and shades of grey
There’s a man’s silhouette up the way
I hear faint whispers permeate
I wish his words crisper
But his voice is more distant
With each step he takes
I can hardly make it out
So I try to chase him down
As he walks the other way
I struggle to catch a glimpse
His stride looks eerily familiar however
I feel like I’ve known them forever
Wait that can’t possibly be
That silhouette is me
Or a symbol of what I will become
If I let my dreams drift away
So I refuse to succumb
To passiveness in any way

You speak a universal tongue
Recognized all over the world
Your silence speaks volumes
Though absent of words
Your message is loud and clear
Without being herd
All that’s required
Is for the eyes to observe
You can ******
You can inspire
You can reduce
Sometimes you are a lier
Other times you tell the truth
Your are BODY LANGUAGE
And often the first form
Of communication used

Stevie Wonder said it wonderfully
Ebony and Ivory.....
We should look to the piano
As an example
Of the beauty we can create
When we look past bias and race
And work together in harmony
Our heights would be limitless
There are no stars we couldn’t reach
For together is community
Walking hand in hand
Would create a bond
Impossible to breach
