You Are Not A Failure (Unless You Choose To Be)

Truth. You can mess up at things, but you're not a failure unless you make yourself one.

My mind has risen.

Showing all colors like a prism.

There's more than white and black in the collection,

I don't watch static or anything that may lack perception.

The world needs some divine intervention.

Instead of evil intentions.

Gotta keep faith up in suspension,

Even if I don't win I'll be an honorable mention.

Don't let the others detain your attention.

Cause when you do that you miss the big picture-

You become a rider and a hitcher.

You become a catcher to the pitcher,

You become one of the chasers who don't get richer.

I told em before to clean their lens,

But they only got focus for a b***h and a benz.

I cross borders like them mexicans,

Engage war for revolution like the Battle at Lexington.

Others must be absent minded-

Like kids who dropped out of school cause they got used to the D minus.

It's all good if that's how you wanna live,

But just remember failure isn't something you did.

Failure is something you accept,

It's when you are positive that you are a reject,

And you resort to needles you inject to feel correct.

And sometimes s**t slips.

Sometimes we lose our grip,

Sometimes we fall deep into a pit,

And we're too damaged to bandage up with the med kit.

But it's when you decide to lay stiff,

That others are right about you not being s**t!

So read through the clues,

You are not a loser if you got something to prove.

You ain't a failure if you're still on the move,

You can do it if you want to, why let them choose?

Take this as some motivation,

Let it help you keep focused on finding your true location.

Cause I don't know about you,

But I wouldn't want to be stuck in a losers shoes.

I agree fully with what you say! This brings a baseball bat down onto the heads of the blind. Good job with that.
However line 4 troubles me. For static is an image we used for a messy chaos. would it not be true that, in the flavor of what you are saying here, that you would want to filter through it, kinda like looking beyond the fog. Just my opinion, but a perceptive view would see static, not fear it, for they see through it.

Other than, my mind stalling on that line, i loved this!
