If you could be anything you wanted to be
..What would you be?
If there were no rules or pressure in society to have a life that you hate
..What would you change it to?
Would you make yourself a billionaire?
Would you wish for a happy life?
For your dream job?
For love?
What if I told you that you could have that?
Now I'll admit those seem far-fetched
Like you can't have it all
But it is possible
It is possible to wish upon a star
But not like a fairytale or fantasy
But like the wish in your heart like
Your courage and faith in yourself
In this world
You'll meet people who will try to tear you down
The family member who says you should think logically and get a stable job
The friend that pressures you to pick a profession that'll make you rich
The friend that says that it's not worth it and give up
Or a society that makes you focus only on money
It could even be what people don't say
The looks people give you when you say what you want to do in life
The shocks on their faces
Like you choose to defy the way of life
Or what they think life is about
So they think or even say to your face that
You could never be that
You are not smart enough
You are not good enough
But it's all mind control
If you listen to the negativity
Then 40 years down the road you'll regret everything
Not taking chances
Not being bold enough
Not proving them wrong
But you can still change
It is never too late to change
You gotta be the one to believe in yourself
Before you can take the advice of others
You must first listen to yourself
It's your life
It's your path
Not somebody else's
Just think positive
Listen to yourself
Believe in yourself
Instead of thinking of reasons why you can't
Think of reasons why you can
If nobody believes in you
Just know…
I BELIEVE IN YOU
