Some people wait For motivation. They wait for the perfect moment. The perfect mood. The perfect opportunity. But winners don’t wait. They move Even when the spark feels small. Because deep down They know something important. Motivation fades. But purpose Burns. There’s a fire inside you That no doubt can put out. It’s the voice that whispers “Try again.” The feeling that tells you “You’re meant for more.” The quiet belief That refuses to die Even after failure. Protect that fire. Feed it with effort. Guard it with discipline. Grow it with patience. Because one day That small flame Will become a wildfire The world can’t ignore. — Itz_All_True ✍🏽🔥

Fire Inside
You say you’re tired. Good. That means you’ve been trying. You say it’s hard. Good. That means it matters. Nothing powerful Comes wrapped in comfort. Diamonds don’t form in peace. They form under pressure. And so do you. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. The perfect mood. The perfect support system. Perfection is a lie That keeps people average. You don’t need more time. You need more discipline. You don’t need more talent. You need more consistency. Because the truth is Somebody less talented than you Is winning Simply because They refused to stop. Let that sink in. Every excuse you repeat Builds a wall. Every action you take Builds a door. So today Choose to build doors. Choose to outwork your doubt. Choose to outlast your fear. Choose to become someone Your old self wouldn’t recognize. You weren’t made to fold. You were made to rise. And if nobody believes it yet Believe it yourself. — Itz_All_True ✍🏽🔥

No Excuses Left.
Death is an old family friend of mine and Life is on speed dial. I won't tell which is witch. A life of a writer's life is soulfully expensive just ask the parents. So life of a reporter is platonic relationships and actual good stories not the obtuse stories put on your desk. So rebel! Start a revolution! Rise up and live your best lives! Make people wish they were you when they can't!

If the gold can still shine , even after forged and burnt, why can't I? If the sun can still shine, even under immense pressure, why can't I? If the star can still shine, even after untold centuries, why can't I? If you can still shine , even after leaving me broken, why can't I?

Why can't I?
Eye look around me and all (eye) see is a brainwashed humanity... when did we become these creatures forgotten all of what the universe teaches? behave little sheep lest you fall out of line imprisoned enslaved these are the times to rise up to rise up to the wakeup call that sleeps within us all

Let IT go/Rise and shine
I know how it feels to lie awake at night thinking about everything wrong with me My stomach's not flat enough, I have love handles and thick thighs I **** up everything I do or touch Sometimes I think to myself would the world be better off without me? But then the sun rises and shines across my face The warmth awakening my senses And I realize The sun will always rise And so will I ~sdr

Sun
I was in the search Of high hopes and fancy Then I found you In a somber chasm And I let my self fall To seek in too deep To have a shelter And to drown with your love For a time The emptiness was filled A leap of joy Was in the faith's hands But the current Was waving too strong Your love, your love I still tried to hold But the water's through me Choked by this illusory While you watched me in a distant I cried with the sea All these concepts Had deteriorated my being But I had to search the air To right back up And to keep me breathin' I found my amnesty In the high ruins And I swear an oath That I will never ever Love that would lead me to death

Oath by the ruins
I hear the cries around The battles in the crowd The bullets Raining down The blood that's on the ground The fear all around The crying in the crowd It's all coming down Our fates are falling to the ground So I'm running all around I'm looking in the crowd 'cause I'm falling down I need to find you before I hit the ground I've been searching all around Running through the crowds As the world's been falling down I won't let us hit the ground The wars all around Blood coming from the crowd The World is coming down And you have been falling down But we won't hit the ground We've been through his before And we can do it again It may be our blood on the ground But we can take it now As the world falls down And we have broken down But we will never touch the ground

Make it
I'm alone I've lost everything I had I've lost my voice I've lost my fight I've lost you                   The gun shots that roared The blood covering my pride The scars that are ripped open You did this to me Outcast, freak, waist,            Day after day you say it's me but, You are the one who broke me Who stole the last string of hope from me So here I am sitting all alone Looking at my phone memories of better days But where they really better Or was it just because we were together But now these pieces are broken forever And I never want them back together I'm taking back my life My life, will, fight, And now I see a new light               weak, insecure, broken, scared They say poison corrupts you Look at what you have done to me You've taken every part of me and changed it Saying I would never make it                 I'm taking my bags and leaving I'm taking my hope with me                So if being alone lets me be me So be it.

Alone
Bold like a lion, strong and brave. I'm not defiant, know my name. Proud like a lion, showing might, No turning back now, I will fight. Roar like a lion. Hunt your prey. Walk like a titan. Rule the day. Live like a lion. Know your place. Keep your head high an' show your grace. Sleep like a lion, with your pride. Protect your region. None shall die. Fail like a lion. tail down low. But rise like a king. All will know.

I stayed in bed today Because I was scared of how other people would see me. I fear how the world sees me. I want to be seen For who I am And who I want to be, Not who I am told to be. That is no life Worth living. Our parents are There to guide us Not dictate us And neglect our needs. So why do they act like we're dangerous to ourselves? We may not always know Exactly who we are, but They don't always know either. What does age have to do with it? Refuse to be Someone you're not. Stand up to false reality! Stand up for your beliefs! Be who you are and step into the shoes you were meant to fill!

Why?
Are you down on your luck? short on change? no place to go? caught in the rain? Just **** it up & don't complain. you're on your own - that's capitalism! if you're poor you deserve what you are cause they're rich for a reason the things they believe in social darwinism its survival of the fittest its living for yourself dont mess with no one else and if you don't make it then you just couldn't take it and you don't deserve to live anyway... do you need an out ? is there no way in? are you just waiting for your life to begin? Well clearly you don't deserve to win. They won't help - that's capitalism! The people who make it clearly won't break it cause they have the smarts to succeed in the art of money. So give'm all the funds watch it trickle down and run. It's a free market, so let it loose, watch it go. If there's monopoly they want you to let it be its only a kids game to them. . . no pain no gain. but if it's not their pain their result's the same. but what have we gained? Is life a dead end in the land of the free? ruled by the rich- a bureaucracy. No end in sight that we can see. Our legacy- is capitalism.

When the pressure becomes too tough... When the nights grow colder... When all else fails... When you feel like crying... When you think its all for naught... When you think its over... When the fight is out... When you feel like quitting... Don't.

When You Feel Like Crying
This is a call to Arms The time for action is now. Our government is preparing for War They're building walls and cutting ties to conquer us they must divide us from ourselves and from our world This is a call to Arms The time for Action is now The board is set, and we, the Pawns, are all in our place, facing an enemy we are told to defeat, though they appear to be identical to you and me. This is a Call to Arms The time for action is now We must revolt Lest we be sacrificed to Kings To Queens, to Bishops To the knights of the realm and the castles they call home. This is a call to Arms The time for action is now We must band together to be heard We will not be cannon fodder For the frontlines of a culture War This is a Call to Arms The time for action is now. Defeat looms ever closer The Reckoning draws nigh Will you stand and deliver Or will you bow down and submit? Will you face the coming adversity, or brave the consequences should you turn your back to it? This is a call to arms They've taken land and sea and air, Poisoned them to **** us, and then billed us for the repair. The enemy surrounds us, Threatening life and limb and freedom. Demanding fealty and obedience. Demanding tribute for the war chest, And soldiers for the ranks, Demanding that we pay the cost while they set price. They want us broken, not just beaten Only unconditional surrender will suffice This is a call to Arms The time for action is now To chant the castles down To fortify the streets Against the tyranny and the hate, Against powers of subjugation, Against the evils of the world now

Some would call it a back stab, I just call it a backtrack, Every path that was once unseen, Is now unearthed right in front of me, I could say that I'm wrong, I haven't always been strong, But in my weakness, I always bounce back like a reflex, A metaphor of burning ashes giving birth to a Phoenix?, But I'm still sleeping, The giant still grows, Nearly 24 and not a clue of where my future is going, 2 years, countless hours, spilling out my heart, A piece of me is out there idle, Waiting for a spark, Somebody to notice, But everybody has their own ideas, opinions and motives, Square one wouldn't scare me if I had pushed so much, Maybe I'll be proud if I suffer enough...

The ones who want to sing don't know how The ones who need money most can't right now Because the kids aren't alright And the government is tight And nobody is saying what they think aloud

The Facts of Life
Dear inspiration, In times of being broken you showed me light. In times of my true self being woken you taught me wrong from right. You smiled and laughed with me. You showed me everything has a price but friendship is free. I was a strange thing. A skinny little voiceless soul left tingling. The world told me who to be. They took away every last piece of me. I let them judge when the shouldn't. I refused stand when I couldn't. It started with a simple common ground. Then I fell in love with you being around. A criticized teen. A nightmare waiting to be seen. You helped me stand. You gave out a lending hand. For that I say thank you. And I'm in debt for everything you do.

To my hero
just like a rainbow cast over stormy seas, you shined your light and it just surrounded me, illuminating life's pure beauty, earth and seas, and stones and trees, and birds and bees, i stumbled bumbled right off your buzz, your honey kiss, sweet sticky lips cant get enough, and i know im not falling in love, i dont fall down, not when you're around, im rising up up up, just like a light inside of crystal caves, the more i watch you the more the darkness fades, and i let your sweet voice lead the way, it leaves me dazed for days, maybe its infatuation, caused by recent separation, my situation's even testin my own patience, now im sittin waitin, for some kind of new creation, im blamin' fate and, i find im hatin', way too much and way too often, need new touch, escape this coffin, my heart is stoppin, and surely droppin i miss your fresh perspective, smart and consciously selective, perfectly hectic, thats how i expect it, and i know im not falling in love, i dont fall down, not when you're around, im rising up

Rise up
The tides of time are timid, slow and still The people lack desire, passion and will The people are in boxes and all think quite the same The fates of people are decided through a twisted game The people all are happy with the way things seem, After all, their struggle is living the American Dream Although the dream is pleasant and it may feel right The people begin to stir, as if on a cold, dark night The mind may stir if only to shiver from the breeze, It keeps a person stirring, unable to sleep with ease With the subtlety of the breeze the thought will shift, As the people awaken they’ll be free to find their gift The tides of time have begun to churn The people are waking and begin to learn They start to think free and stretch their mind They are searching for answers of their own kind. They work not for themselves, but strive to help the whole A world of people living together, each playing their own role Each person working together despite gender, traits or race Just people helping people to make the world a better place The gusts of change are roaring, tearing through the plains The people wake up and are furious to find themselves in chains They yell and shout in anger for their captors to set them free They almost give up hope until they realize they hold the key They break their chains and free their minds to wander and explore Each person setting out to discover what they love down to the core
