This independent piece is a poem that contains repetition and rhyming. I don’t know where I got the idea for a mission; I just start writing and came up with this. It’s about, I guess myself, as I strive towards a goal and how it keeps me going. When I accomplish the dream, or task, though a new one has to begin. It begins with the past, works its way in the present, and ends in the future I believe the format of the poem and its structure are its best qualities. If someone doesn’t know, C.R.E.A.M.= Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
I had a mission
i would never reach the core,
or soar the impossible
but i knew there was more
anything could be through that door
But
I had my mind set
I have a mision
it’s make or break
no matter how long it may take,
and whatever the stake
i will fill that lake
Because
I have my mind set
I still have a mission
but not a day goes by
where i don’t reach out and try,
for my dream is the sky
and i will not quit unless i die
Because
I have my mind set
I don’t have a mission
i have completed the dream
and it’s just how it may seem
it was all about C.R.E.A.M.
until i followed that invigorating beam
But
I don’t have a mission
I have a new mission
i have begun a new drive
it will keep me alive
as i strive,
into the unknown with a hopeful dive
Because
I have my mind set

I really like how you repeat the same line "because i have my mind set." It really ties the whole thing together. It kinda sounds like the whole poem could be a song too.
A Wu-Tang allusion-a first this year in Creative Writing. Good job. good to see you experimenting with poetry.
