Glass Ceilings


You can do whatever you set your mind to

Your destiny is up to you

Do whatever you decide to do

That’s what they always say

 

You should stick with what’s possible

Stick with your strengths

Base it off of how much sense it makes

That’s what they always say

 

You should change the world

Don’t let it change you

Create opportunities exciting and new

It’s all up to you and your point of view

That’s what they always say!

 

No! Not that!

It’s unrealistic!

Find another avenue through which to channel your ambition

It’s not enough to just have vision

You have to fit the mold to get the position

 

Yet when I feel defeated,

I have no excuse, I can beat it

Can I or can’t I?

Make up your mind

I just don’t get it
