I Can

I can do anything
Be who I want to be
Live the life I’ve always wanted

I can.
Don’t tell me I can’t
No, I dare you
Tell me I can’t do anything
I can’t be who I want to be
I can’t life the life I’ve always wanted.
Tell me this and I will show you I can.

Because I am strong
Independent
My soul is more powerful than words
Impenetrable.
No one can bring me down
Nothing.
Not words,
Not actions,
Not the sky,
The moon,
The stars.
Nothing.

You can tell me the sky is the limit.
But it’s not,
Not for me.
Because I will fight till the end
To climb upon the moon
And say, “I did it.”

Don’t bring me down
Don’t shatter my dreams
Like shards of glass
Don’t tell me the sky is the limit
When there are footprints on the moon.
