Stand


“Don’t” is just word

“Can’t” is just a verb

No matter how hard life gets

No matter what life brings you

Strive to the end

Reach for your goals

Even on the worst days

Even on the most dreadful days

The sun is always smiling down on you

Because hope does not fade

Perseverance Dedication Determination

Can open up a world of possibilities

Be willing to fall down but be able to stand back up

Be not afraid of those who make you suffer

Because no matter how many people are on their side, you can win.

There is no such thing as the impossible.

Take risk and regret choices.

“Don’t” is just word

“Can’t” is just a verb

Small words with powerful meanings.

But not as powerful as you.
