listen first, before reading.
and he lived by the motto that you could be
whatever you wanted to be
so long as your heart believed.
that you could reach for, and touch the skies
no matter who you were
so long as you trusted your dreams.
and that the only limits were the ones,
you cordoned your own self with.
and he amassed and grew
in fame, power, and wealth
but still felt empty, and hollow inside
for his heart was constricted, and he did not believe
and so when the world whispered
comparisons, like a judgmental crusade
doubt crept back in
i am myself
with my flaws, my limitations, and imperfections
i might not know everything,
the best or the ideal
but i am myself,
with my own quirks, dreams, talents and beliefs
so i'll acknowledge my limitations,
but they do not define who i am
it's time to let go,
for we dont have to answer to their opinions
for i've found myself, and who i am inside
and when i'm about to stumble
or when i'm down
i remember, that
i am myself
and i am enough.
