Encouragement

Change comes from within
So they say
Who are they
Anyway?

They’re the ones that tell you
You can’t do that
You’re not good enough
You’re too short, too tall, not smart, not at all
Listen to yourself, you’re nuts, they say
Who are they to judge me anyway?

They don’t own their faults
Lay them on your shoulders
Lead, heavy, heartbreaking boulders
Their shame is your shame
Their weakness is yours to bare
Get out while you can, hide
They’ll probably stare

Ignore them, as you should
Your life is yours to live, yours alone, do what you would
Own up to your mistakes
Make your heart light
Enjoy this short life we have
Don’t give up the fight

I’ve borne my shape for too long
My shame too
I’m working on changing my stars
I really hope I do
Take it to the next level, make a man out of me
To be, only, happy
To find the one I need
To make me believe
The dream love that I see
When I dream I do dream
Leave it be

It’ll happen when it should
Not because you thought it would
But when the time is right, the day is short
You’ll make an epic cohort

Dance dance dance, dream dream dream
Don’t forget your ice cream
Laughter, joy, guiltless life
You deserve a world with no strife
