A bright idea illuminates your mind
"I'll do it when I get the time"
Is what you say when you defend
Your busy schedule of tasks you resent

Your tasty theoretical lemonade
Made from the lemons that came your way
Would quench your thirst for success
If you would only take a rest

Is it healthy for you to be stuck
In the 9 to 5 generational curse?
Working hard to make a living
When that living can be unforgiving

Nothing's too hard or impossible
Baby steps, no need to stress
When to you the path is visible
You just need to do your best

The fear you harbor in your heart
Is not because of your limit
But it's because of someone else's goals -
You're afraid that you won't reach it.

Your template is your latest high score
No them, just you versus you on the floor
If you fall you'll get up, that's the spirit
All you need now is to just  DO IT!

Refuse to make the same excuses
For not making the relevant changes
Because your kids won't inherit jobs
But they copy your mindset when you beat the odds
Just Do It (Poem inspired by young entrepreneurs)

I can't tell you how sick I am of the mean and snarky comments going on here,
Why does it even happen when we all have the same fear?

Being mistreated for who we are
In our minds possibly having a scar
That no one knows about but we all keep hidden.
Joke like all of our bad emotions aren't there, so hopefully they will soon be ridden.

Why make people suffer for us?
When we have people here to talk, to discuss.
We hurt people to make us feel better?
What are you trying to do, become a trendsetter?

Sorry to break it to you, but it doesn't work like that.
Calling that girl you see over there fat,
What kind of person are you being?
A mean
Rude
And Ignorant
Human being.

Be accepting of anyone here
Because they might share the same fear
Bullying and name calling needs to stop
Without it, you might actually wind up on top

Become friends with someone who sits by themselves,
Because no one wants them, so they are stored on the very top of an empty book shelf.
Check that book out of the library to make it feel better,
Because then, you are becoming the right trendsetter.

Each day
another person tags along
We say
there's nothing we do wrong
We know
they don't sing their own song
We go
on a journey that's lifelong
Today's society
just follows a crowd
If that's what you wanna be
don't think you'll be proud
How do you expect to win
when you're behind someone else's lead
You might as well put that dream in the bin
you're basically joining the same breed
Take a stand
walk on your own paths
Release yourself from the band
open up your own straths
Make the decision
don't become a borrower
You can see the vision
when you're not a follower
