Half as long
Twice as bright
Petty ambitions
are my only vice.
To sing
To act
To fight
If it fulfills your soul
do not fear the things
in your sights.

Destruction or Repercussions,
either way
they are a part of life
playing nice,
is not something
that you should entice,
Make it nice
Make it great.
even if at a later date.

Never lose ambition
to make yourself true,
pick ye rosebuds while ye may,
take every opportunity,
to make your life, truly great
To make yourself,
Undeniably true.
