One Step Closer

Written by

Creativity at the core with a thick layer of fake.
Filled with talk and little action.
Gold lions for a good cause, never to be developed.
An award becomes the end goal, instead of the start of one.
Boosted egos and bragging of boats.
‘Iv’e got Ed Sheeran!’
‘Well, I’ve got talking goats.’
The Croisette was the centre stage. The catwalk. The contest. The cheering crowd. It’s about popularity, who knows who and who is aloud.
‘She’s my best friend.’
‘You saw her at a talk, towards the end?’
Overdraft limits are hit in order to fit.
The desire to impress, whatever the spend.
Money becomes the leader and your skills fall down.
Class rules over everything still.
‘Just check out her Chanel ball gown.’
It’s unlikely that Cannes will change.
But genuinely, I don't care.
I’m here to focus on the future of my kind.
Not the clones with a money driven mind.
I definitely didn't fit.
I heard crap but I saw reality.

There’s a dark side that lurks in the shadow of creativity. The day Marc called me to say I had a place.
Became the best day of life and the beginning of my race. The speech I did at The VOWSS was overwhelming.

But I hope I did the school proud.
The audience wanted to listen.
They were interested in what I had to say.
It was the first time I had confidence that I was going the right way. When someone tells you that they believe you can change the world. Fuck, thats a mission , but I’ll do it and I’ll do it loud.
I have a voice and I got it heard.
The power of words shouldn’t be underestimated.
But we all know that actions are what is really rated.
So to all those who have believed in me.
Those who have backed me financially and emotionally.
You’re one of a kind and you are special.
My fight has just begun.
But I know with you by my side, it’s a fight that can easily be won. #keepthemicon
