The Drive Poem by Jonisha Jones

Curiosity sparks the youths inside's to strive higher than society will take them
be better than how they see you, be all you can be and hold your head up high for everyone to see
is it that easy?
for you? for me?
does everyone have that kind of capability?
the world has to realize that not everyone has that drive
the want, the need, the environment to survive
the passion, the encouragement from their mother or their boo
they end up being stubborn, lazy, a worthless little fool to me and you
to everyone, to themselves no more energy to go on
there life goes in the same motion as to replay the same song
and me? im the fighter, the sister you dont see everyday
the one that goes to school, comes home and just lays down in bed to say
i beat the odds and im here to stay
im different in good and evil ways
im a dreamer, a lover, i stare out and gaze
at the stars, the people i call my friends
can they change me, will they move me? it all depends
if i follow along in certain paths walked ahead
if i do things better done than said
im here wandering but picking up knowledge along the way
im here roaming but not leaving myself and experiences a stray
im living and breathing going beyond my comprehension
im just free writing my feelings so just read and pay attention
to my world, to my ideas, to my open brain
all the happiness, the sadness, the misery and the pain
i let my emotions and opinions out strong but not in vain
Curisosity sparked the drive inside me to write things others wont do
all i want this poem to do is spark the curiosity in you
