Real Talk Poem by nyna bankard

Every day I'm struggling
Day to day I'm wondering
What's to come from this life I'm juggling?
Try to maintain these demons in my head.
Try to keep my cool, but I'm living on edge
Treading thin water, still going full fledge.
Not gonna shake me, never gonna break me
Keep talking ish but you're words don't phase me
Seen enough to know that I don't need this stress
Keep looking up & move onto the next.
Stop trying to be perfect & just do my best.
Keep living life with no regrets.
Work real hard to push it real far
Stick with the people who love who you are.
Keep your game tight and your swag on ice
Don't fall victim to what you know ain't right.
Forget about those who try to hold you back
Break free from the reins and get yourself on track.
Fight a little harder, the time is drawing near
It's my time to shine, it's never been so clear.
Much love to the people who have been by my side
To hell with the rest who were just along for the ride.
