Potential


I have potential, they tell me.

I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.

I was born with a gift to learn fast and speak quicker.

I have potential, they say.

I can go far, and reach the stars.

I was born with a great destiny and they can tell.

I have potential, I'm told.

I can succeed where others have failed.

I was given this potential and I shouldn't waste it.

 

I had potential, they told me.

I could have done anything.

I was born with a gift.

I had potential, they said.

I could have gone far.

I had a great destiny.

I had potential, I was told.

I could have succeeded

I shouldn't have wasted it.
