The Greatness in Me


I am great

Can it be

That I can be great

Can it be

That I can break the cycle of normality

Can it be

Can I break the cycle of formality

I can be great

I can break the cycle of unoriginality

I can have liberality

Liberality of making the right choice

I can use the right voice

To silence this noise

The noise that rings in all our ears

The noise that brings us tears

The noise that stops up our ears

Makes us deaf to the truth

And mutes our voice

to the truth about this certain action

We should have attraction to this action

Not some distraction

I am only a portion

A portion of all the people in the world

I have this disconnection from the world

People say this is bad

But I say it is a testimony of how much I have changed

Changed from the lonely darkness to the joyful light

The direction I should be taking

Is to have correction in my self

Be different!

I am different

You are different

we are all different

It comes through the refinement you put yourself in

You are different

You can be great just like me
