I Can Do

As a young child

I believed I could achieve great things

I believed I could be that one person who stood out among the rest

I believed I could avoid the pressures of my peers

I believed I could touch the sky

I rose above the rest

I was the one who could do anything

But then I didn't

Instead

I achieved rising out of bed

I never spoke up among the rest

I didn't have any peers pressuring me for anything

I almost touched the sky, but now

I'm glad I failed

I did rise above the rest

I have conquered my demons

and many more to come

I can now do anything

where as before

there was nothing to be done

I am determined

I am powerful

I can do

I can fly

I can believe 

I can be happy

I can love

I can fight

I can win

I can do
