I Am Strong and Tall


I am strong and tall I wonder what if I had continued to be brainwashed by the negative energy that tried to bring me down? I hear lost loved ones protecting me from above pushing me past my extent I see a bright future ahead of me I want success so I can show my ancestors it is possible to get where you want to be if you just try I am strong and tall I pretend I am this famous designer who everyone wants to be I feel powerful and stuck in the moment; daydreaming on what life can be some day I touch my imaginary penthouse in the city's doorknob and feel the shiny metal glistening all moonlight surrounding in I worry things will not go as planned, then I realize I will MAKE it happen I cry when that small shiny doorknob slips away from the tips of my fingers and back into my wild imagination I am strong and tall I understand I must work hard for the life I want to fulfill I say I can reach my goals in life I dream of the perfect life I try I try I try my hardest to get what I want and refuse to take no as an answer I hope I will be the famous designer my imagination has created I am strong and tall

This is something I decided to write because I am a person coming from a not-so-great background or a very supportive family, but that does not limit my ambition to do whatever it takes to get where I want to be.
