Making It
Everyone fears ending up as a
failure
No one talks about it and no one belives it, but what do you do when
you start to think about it? Do you panic? or maybe
feel hopless. What's important is that
everyone has a chance before it's all said and done.
Believing you can do what you want
gives you a world of options to start
You could build a house
or save a mouse
sail the ocean
or set atoms into motion
the world is full of possibilities,
take them
imagine a world without famine or hate
giving deprived children a clean slate
I could pick up trash
or travel the world to where there is no cash
I could save a life with medicine
or change a persepctive by just walking in
I could create a new home for endangered animals
or give a poor kid in a hot climate sandles
So many options for a bright teenager like me
A job studying the people of the world
that would be a wonderful experience to see
Just one travel to a different culture
would change my sheltered life forever
like a flower with her pedals unfurled,
i would become a new person, a women
with a mind that could see the world and not
just the bubble of her hometown.
