They say if you eat your vegetables you grow strong

I disagree whole heartedly

I say pain makes you grow strong

It’s pain that’s led me on my path

The path of success

So that I can justify my father

And dismantle my mother’s beliefs

To eradicate all the non-believers

The ones who said I was

Too stupid

Too poor

Too ugly

Too unruly

I will show them pain

With my success

They have put oil on my fire

And I shall not shy away

They shall see true warmth

I will be known around the world

My last name

Becoming a synonym to success

And once I’m at the top

I’ll scream down at everyone

Thanking them

For the fuel.
