My Hustle

My Hustle
My hustle is why I make it
Like being in the desert
Forcing us to survive
With no food or water
To prove to us that
The thirst is real
To be successful and making it
Knowing no emotion to feel
Dad used to shield me from it
Mum never let me feel it
Now it’s time I count my hustle
I have failed a lot
Disappointment dripping from me
But I have my reasons for determination
Don’t tell me of my failure
When you don’t know my struggle
So you can’t feel my hustle
Because you got your own
And the rest of us
Have to fight on our own
Doesn’t make us losers
We are only hustlers
Struggling to make it a success
