I wake up with the mentality and vigor to never quit,

This is something that took years to break and surmount,

It was easy to count, the amount of times that I almost quit vs the times I did not in the past,

As remnants to quit was everywhere I looked,

Can I outlast the pressure to make something of myself?

 

You see some friends and family members of mine quit,

I am destined to be next,

No,

Nowadays I shower in success,

Not too cocky,

Humility is my excess.

 

Leaving my apartment surrounded by signs to give up, just lose,

Like I do not have a say in my life, I have the right to choose,

My will intensified,

Constantly I personified,

What it means to never surrender,

Now I am working on attaining a post graduate degree,

Darnell little old me.

 

Quitting never crosses my mind,

To quit is to be flawed,

The only thing that crosses my cerebral is to continue to grind,

From sunshine to sunset,

Motivation seeps in my body

No flaws in my drive,

Not quitting is the only thing that makes me thrive.
