15-Minute Workout (4/2/2010) - NEW POEM

Hey, Everybody -

Hope that you are doing well. I am here again to post another 15-Minute Workout. I've been really excited to keep this thing going, since it's keeping my skills sharpened as the book release is drawing closer. I put this one together a few minutes ago, so it's a fresh as it's going to be. Leave me as line or two to tell me what you think. I appreciate all of you for your support and am very excited to say that the big day is coming soon. Until then, stay tuned and get ready! Peace!









15-Minute Workout - Part Three

They say that I’m a dreamer
And perhaps I dream too much
But when I think of what could be
It gives me such a rush
I truly am a believer in the impossible
As far as my vision’s concerned, nothing’s impossible
My mission may be astronomical
But my spirit and will is up to the task
Focusing on my bright future
Averting my gaze from my past
Giving it my all – first, second, and last
Pushing every button I can
Even if it comes down to the second to last
And every second I laugh
Remembering the people who didn’t believe
Who didn’t co-sign the vision
Thinking that their ridicule would slow me down
As if I needed their permission
But my spirit is unbridled
Boundaries shifted and lifted
Hate me now, love me later
Either way, you’ll probably miss it
I feel that I’m gifted
In the art of perseverance
Making a way out of no way
Making my own clearance
Knowing my value is much higher
Appraised higher than notes sounded by choirs
Feeling that the best hasn’t arrived yet
Though to some I’m a rookie
I feel in my own right that I’m a proven vet
And there’s some that say that I’m not proven yet
But they haven’t seen me moving yet
Playing it as meticulous as chess
With aspirations to be the best
With only me and myself to impress
And, yes,
I still push myself further and harder
Running toward the promises laid up for me by my Father
Which is why I no longer bother
Addressing those who simply onlook
Sitting on the sidelines
Reading and dissecting my book
With scorn and criticizing looks
I put on my blinders and keep on running
Since regardless, their gaze will continue
And their hateful stares will keep on gunning
Questioning if I put enough in
But I remain in overdrive
Pedal to the metal, accelerate fast
Getting better and better over time
Reviewing the dreams in my mind
Over and over, time after time
Knowing that nothing really matters
As long as I accomplish these far out dreams of mine
Despite if it may take more tick-tocks than preferred
I stay on the course focused
Hard to shake, disturb, or unnerve…
