Opportunity

Creative on my wordplay, but this isn't Scrabble,
my lines will leave you speechless like a baby tryin' to babble.
Everyday I work hard, but don't receive the recognition,
underrated, look it up, you'll see that I'm the definition.

Right now expectations are higher than ever,
and lately I've had ups and downs like the motion of a lever,
and people slept on me like they've been dreamin' forever,
but all I've ever said was, "Never say never..."

I just wanted to be worthy,
without wearin' a jersey,
hoping for the best,
and reach success before I'm thirty.

Many lessons to be taught, I'm just not sure how to teach it,
my brain holds the formula on how to set a goal then reach it,
shock and awe will arise when everyone can breach it,
'cause the words I spill will stain like the clothes you mix your bleach with. 

Do you know what it's like to never get results,
like a squirrel going for the nut, but all I'm getting is the bolts,
but I'll have people drinking from my punchlines and dropping like a cult,
and pursue a new direction like when Manning left the Colts.

I'm due for big things and I don't want to miss out 'cause I waited,
but I have to take the time for my twisted mind to get unbraided,
so when my family's at a table with all of their friends getting faded,
they can share stories about their youngest son who made it.

Nice thoughts. Maybe space it out a bit, or break it into smaller sections.

This piece doesn't need a review - it needs a chainsaw.
