You Can

by
Liliana Kohann

You can dance when your soul desires to
or you can remain idle
to please others.
You can let others live your life
or you can live your life yourself.
You can be a foolish slave
to life’s circumstances
or you can be a wise man
who uses life’s circumstances
as a tool for growth
and betterment.
You can believe in yourself
or you can believe others
not believing in you.
You can let your free spirit
carry you through the mountains
or you can allow others
to keep your spirit
chained to the bottom of the valley.
You can accept the challenge of change
or you can choose the comfort
of misery.
Prevail
in your own heart’s desires,
as it will be often obscured
by the desires of others.
Simplify
your life
as chaos will destroy you.
Focus
on your path
as you will be pulled astray.
Persistently
work toward your dream,
a little bit each day.
You Can.
