You are weak minded I am not
You fail to push on I do not
You cannot persevere
You are he who is afraid of fear
You can never challenge the law
You recoil at the blow of the mighty paw
You fall short where I power through
And the only thing stopping you is you

© Cassie H., Carmi, IL

The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this is when people always say what your potential is or what you could be. I hope the reader gets that the "I" in this story is really supposed to be your potential or the best possible version of yourself.
