I wanted to sing
But my voice wasn't strong enough.
I wanted to fight
But didn't have the skill and wasn't that tough.
I wanted love
But why should someone love me?
Someone to see my value?
Nah, that's above me.
I wanted to shine
But I wasn't that bright.
I wanted blaze the trails
But my flame just wouldn't ignite.
I wanted to model but they said I wasn't pretty.
An orator? Or a comedian?
Nah, I'm not that witty.
I want to be rich,
But I come from struggle, so where would I start?
I'm not that talented or gifted
Or pretty or smart.
I wanted to be a doctor
But who would put their life in my hands?
I wanted to lead
But no one would ever follow my commands.
I want to sail, but where would I go?
I wanted to act but who would watch the show?
Okay wait, Damn, all the self doubt
Damn all the haters
Imagine what I would I could do
If I stopped listening to naysayers!
If I would've practiced, I could've opened for Beyoncé
If I loved myself, maybe I'd attract someone else
And be someone's wife, or at least fiancé.
But then again, I wouldn't even need that!
If I loved myself, I would be enough for myself.
And loneliness would never truly be lonely
Because I'm good no matter what.
If I believed in myself, I'd win every bout.
I would blaze every trail and accomplish anything
I could think of.
I would exceed expectations and shit on all the doubts.
I would save many lives, make many laughs...
How dare I limit myself because what others say?
Count myself out, standing in my own way!
I could blame others but to be honest,
They say faith without deeds is dead
But deeds without faith is just tragic.
So honestly, I don't know what's going on in my head.
Because if I just focused, and just practice,
Pick a path stick to it,
Study and apply the effort
I would be unstoppable!
I wouldn't have no choice,
no excuses not to do it.
I can do whatever I dream,
I can be greater than I may seem.
I am unstoppable.
So stop stopping yourself
Stop letting others deter you.
You are unstoppable
Now go make your dreams come true. 💕
