Stand Tall, Think Wide

May there be strength when no hand appears,

When silence surrounds and no voice cheers.

Stand alone, but not with fear,

Let clarity be what keeps you near.

Let thoughts be sharp and steps be sound,

Move mountains not with noise, but with ground.

Not all battles need to be loud,

Some rise quiet, while some rise proud.

Don't wait to be told when to begin,

The world was not shaped by those who fit in.

Be the reason the limits break,

The one who risks for progress' sake.

Walk the edge where few will go,

Not reckless, but ready to grow.

Let curiosity lead the way,

And action be what lights your day.

Scream, not for chaos, but to be known,

To shake the cage, to build your own.

Let every word be rooted in truth,

Not just in age, but also in youth.

No need to shrink or ask for grace

When the mind is sharp and knows its place.

Don't just exist, expand your space,

Fill your life with a soothing pace.

Be unapologetic, not unkind,

But brave enough to speak your mind.

Let joy run wild from head to toe,

Not cautious, just bold enough to grow,

And when they say "stay safe, be wise,"

Remember: safety rarely flies.

Greatness lives where rules bend thin,

Where fear steps out and choice steps in.

So may there always be a path to pave,

Not just to follow, but to be brave.

Let reason guide each risk you take,

And build a life that no doubt could break.
