POEMS ABOUT EMPOWERMENT  > You Can
​

​YOU CAN

        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 often be obscured
by the desires of others.
 
SIMPLIFY
your life,
as chaos will destroy you.
 
FOCUS
on your path,
as you will be pulled astray.
 
WORK
persistently toward your dream
a little bit each day.
 
 
You CAN.
