Riches or Heartfill?

Crowded, Packed, and running
"Don't be late!"
"Hand in by due date!"
New to have a clue
"But don't drool!"
Eyes stapled open
"I don't want to miss a single word"
"This test is ******* absurd!"
Solving equations
"But read the text"
"If you don't pay attention, You'll NEVER be next"
Next
What is next?
A rolex?
A lot of money and some *****?
Where is the Durex?
("Remember kids, safe *** is great ***!")

I don't want to be these things that are required of me.
I want to be me
And I don't want you to see me as my failure
I need you to see me as ME
My body yearns for love and my mind longs for truth  
This heart needs more than just an empire of hard work and accomplishments.
Imagination and dreams
Dreams I work towards.
Kisses and Hugs
to back me up
Don't you dare say
I should give up
Don't you dare say
I can't
Don't you dare say
I won't.

*******
I WILL
I WILL be successful
While minding my manners
I will stay determined
No matter where the spotlight is
My will is humble
My gifts will never be numbered
And the next time they point a finger at you, you tell them
My right is not a game
Stop treating this like it's a game
We are not pawns in a game of Chess

Baby it's more than being just broke, broken, brittle, bent over
time after time after time after time again.

So make this one count!
And end it with a
"Hip Hip Hooray!"

don't worry bout me, as I pass away
your passion of sorrow, as I lay dead
is noted, not believable, but noted
as your heartfill tears, seem genuine
your left hand, wipes them away

looking up at you, I wish I could smile
seeing the guilt you must feel
wondering, if all you put me through
would it change if I was resurrected

but souls like you, are common
shallow beings, ******* off the love
the ones that trusted you, are discarded
like dust in the wind, you'll plant your
seed, cultivate the newbees, who have
no clue

— The End —
