The Choice


Optimists think this is the best possible world,

While pessimists fear it's true.

The greatest pleasure in life,

Is doing what people say you cannot do.

No one is perfect.

That's why pencils have erasers.

Have you noticed that everyone'e heros

Are really just imperfect dream chasers. 

You have to do what others wont,

To achieve what others dont.

So take back your dreams

From the deep recesses of the top shelf.

Because achieving starts

With you believing in yourself.

You can do anything you put your mind to,

That's what my dad always used to say.

It's really just a choice.

So don't let your dreams die and wither away.
