Revisions

Hopeful Reality

I am unstoppable                          
Nobody can beat me                    
That's improbable                         
Nothing special about me              
An unwavering will to win              
Nobody can beat me                    
Addicted to sin                             
Sacrifice needed to succeed          
An unwavering will to win              
Nothing is guaranteed                   
Doubt will fill your mind                
Sacrifice needed to succeed          
An unwavering reason you need to find     
Keep you going through those times          
Doubt will fill your mind                             
Victory isn't always, just sometimes
I am unstoppable
Keep you going through those times
That's improbable

Golden Goal

Fighting viciously for freedom
for liberty
for the day the unstoppable
is stopped
Chief walking with swag
in his infinite power
be powerless
use Stealth to achieve liberty
lose everything to gain everything
infinite
equality

Rafael - I think your poem Hopeful Reality would be wonderful set to music.  You have some nice repetition and rhyme to work with.
Your second poem is a manifesto of sorts, and I think needs to be expanded to fit in all that you have to say.  Try to add imagery to fill out the poem.

Mimi Moriarty

Golden Goal revised

Fighting viciously for freedom
Heart filled with valor
Never backing down
Sacrificing everything
In hope that one day
You will make a difference
Be of importance
Remembered
Respected
A piece to a whole
Something way bigger
Than you alone could ever be

I think the revised version is better because like you said, Mimi Moriarty is a gifted and published poet. Her possessional opinion definitely assisted me in revising my poem to make it the best that it could be.
