Shining As Bright As I Can

Poem by Compton Wright. 

If shining is the main objective than that mission is 
Dimming in the nights of the dark forgotten failures
Who had what it took than slip and never gotten back 
To where they belong but when assigned with that title...
Things change! I'm going to achieve all that offered to me! 
While people see me as super shady and that my veins are 
Frozen solid as they said I'm just as cold blooded as a snake" 
Never understanding that  I'm just a poet with a soul 
Of a driven underdog  who willing to risk it all that led me 
To my position of respect only to push and strive and even further 
As I'm only want to be classed with categories of elite talented writers
Proving each doubter that continues to show disbelief towards my growth 
While my supportive readers praise my everlasting gift that I given my all 
Blessing any who reads my works of art who willing to see me more clearly  
By day I work harder to grow my poetry more stronger by night I sleep no longer
The dreams that streams nothing but past visions I promised over my youth years
The art only show more progress as my life gives more memories within the mind 
Willing to improve! practically obsessed with improvement and betterment  
Whatever it takes to be the best and away from the rest of the crowd of average
As I'll try my hardest everyday to be the one who shining the brightest!
So my advice to you is to shine as bright as you can so that no one
Can cast a shadow over your greatness and persistence that you shown since Day One!
