I used to think that life is unfair,
And that some goals are not worth any dare,
That since destiny is unclear,
I should just fold my hands; try not, so as not to wear.
I have always been afraid to wake up,
Break out of my shell and steer my way to the top,
Because I don’t want to flop,
I’ll even prefer not to hop.
I am dead scared of what people will say,
When I start to do things my way,
So when opportunities come for me to take the day,
I give excuses and hide away.
I know that to become great is not a day’s job,
And it’s very good not to be anybody’s dub,
I am stuffed with everything I need yet I snub,
Every chance to grow by trying and now I’m still a cub.
So I cried out in despair: O life, tell me what to do!
’Cos when I settle accounts with my Creator I don’t want to get a boo.
Then suddenly I heard a still small voice,
Telling me with such an awesome poise,
Not to ever be afraid to try,
’Cos it’s the only way for me to learn and fly,
That nevertheless, mistakes are wonderful messages,
Obstacles are OBjects that make you a STAr when you get CLUES from the caused damages,
That I must turn every DISAPPOINTMENT to THIS APPOINTMENT,
And then, nothing at all will be able to stop my fulfillment.
