Black Poetry : I Refuse To Fail (inspirational poem)

[Nahshon]

Though the road to success is as the road to salvation
A slim and narrow road paved with tribulations,
Difficult these obstacles are, yet not impossible to overcome
My keys to success inner strength and application of wisdom

I refuse to fail
I refuse to fall
I will prevail
I can conquer all

See I wasn't always in this peaceful space
It took great efforts to get where I am at in this race.
The race of life where I am competing against myself
To gain, peace, prosperity good health, and increase my wealth

I refuse to fail
I refuse to fall
I will prevail
I can conquer all

Negative thinking has no place with me and mine
It must be positive or else it's a waste of time.
Time wasted serves me not, it doesn't equate with my soul
I can become a better man if I continue pushing to my goal

I refuse to fail
I refuse to fall
I will prevail
I can conquer all

Slowing down, will not get me to where I need to be.
There is no way that I can stop my activities
I want to see the fruits of my labors the work of my own hands
In less than seven years reach financial independence, to be my own man.

I refuse to fail
I refuse to fall
I will prevail
I can conquer all

I needn't work for someone else, increase their worth and glory
That's not what I want for myself, that's not how to end my story.
A Strong Family, contentment of heart, peace of mind for these I toil
Work to see my hands fruition, provided for my families future, to these remain loyal

I've set my head straight my path I mustn't alter
A course I've set for myself I will not falter
My mindset on this position
Can be answered in my affirmation
I refuse to fail
I refuse to fall
I will prevail
I can conquer all
