Fearless


 

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Eighteen, plot out the life you see before yourself.

Prepare to be thrown from your comfortable world,

into the chaos that we refer to so fondly as 'adulthood'

 

What do you want to study?

Where to begin, where to end..

Throw yourself into what you hope you'll enjoy

or perhaps where the money is made.

 

Find yourself.

There is a passion within, a drive

To help people, to make a difference, to make a mark

Stop comparing yourself to others, love yourself.

 

Not burdened by what others feel I should do,

Freed by myself from the mold that was 'normal'

Inspired to make my life what I want it to be,

I AM FEARLESS.
