A Go-getter

Once Upon a Time I just wanted to make a difference

A Go-getter
A Go-getter fights for the chance to make a difference and pave the way.
They forge a path taking a road unpaved.
Fighting an uphill battle everyday, so that their brothers and sisters can see a brighter day.
To make it easier... not for themselves, but for the ones that follow close behind, so they have an example of the right way to find peace of mind.
To teach... never to be scared of the battle and the uphill climb; To do what it takes to make it in this world's divine …
Image.
That's what it's all about, it's why I battle all these battles, so I know there's no doubt; that I can do it.
It just sits there in the back of my mind
They are my single motivation; why I go and I try
To be my best.
So that they know you never have time to: second guess, not try your best, or ever grow tired.
Everyday you must work, harder than the prior, and never let the failures of the past make you consider to retire.
Be resilient: Do it all and then some
and when it gets hard; do it for the ones that still come
Walking on the path you've paved for them.
They may not demonstrate that they appreciate until it's placed on them: the baggage that you carry now, but they can't begin to imagine what they'd do without you or if they had to do what you do.
To them it just seems like you're showing off or showing out, but little do they know that it’s them that this is all about.
All you want to do is make it easier to go get...
The things that make them happy, which for me is the knowledge that, I put everything I could into making it clear to see…
The only way we make the most of life is to think: "Who follows me?"
