Spark

You Tell me that you want to see a spark,
well it's hard to spark when you've been raised in the dark,
I get no respect from you,
so why should i give it in return,
rob me of my pride once again,
bring up all the things I've never done,
I don't need a damn piece of paper to tell me congratulations on what I've accomplished,
I don't need a university to teach me how to write,
I'll live my dreams starving until the moment for me to shine,
I'm a writer trying my hardest to get noticed,
and maybe my time won't ever come,
but I will continue speaking the verse,
until I hear I'm finally one,
one of the top, one of the preferred, of the great american poets,
until my name is a common word,
I'll write until my fingers bleed, I'll write until there is no need,
and I know that the day of my own oblivion will never come,
so I'll keep on pounding these words until my time in the sun
