Why can't I?

I spend every day fighting against the mediocracy that i am slowly being sucked into You can't do that It takes too much effort These things are not for you Don't stray to far from home Nothing good can come from taking risks I start to believe these words for myself I question my abilities I settle I don't want to let my life slip away I crave the adventure that I have yet to experience I want to explore I want to test my limits and see what I am capable of But how can I break free when all around me I hear words of discouragement How will i know if i never try Why can't I do the things I've always dreamed of Why can't I discover and explore Why can't I
