UNREFINED AMBITIONS :: 2009

This life is hard
This life is coarse
And unrefined
This life is wild
And abrasive
And it is mine
This reality
Is accepted
Not as if it is divine
What is, what is
Is my spirit
Playing with time

I feel it like
An urgency
And it burns
Inside of me
It pushes
Tears from my eyes
Like there
Is too much
Intensity

I will not
Go through the motions
I will
Feel things through
I will give
All of myself
And more
To you
My intuition
Is my moral compass
And it guides
Me to a future
I could not foresee
I see this world
With new eyes
And I ache
To set
My people
Free

Make me
A legacy
Make me
Stand for so much more
Than what i see
More than
Labels
More than
A materiality
Reach inside
And pull out
It out of me
It was
Latent
But now
It roars
With
Ferocity
