Failures

Aug 01, 2014 21:53

There are those who were told they were idiots,
There are those who were given many,many failing grades,
There are those who were told by their parents to work harder or just give up,
There are those whose self-esteem steadily grew low,
There are those whose confidence went disappeared all together,
There are those who became drop-outs,
There are those who just gave up...

But there are those who refuse to believe they are idiots,
But there are those who ignored those failing grades,
But there are those who challenged their parents,
But there are those whose self-esteem never decreased,
But there are those who brimmed with confidence,
There are those who were drop-outs, yes,
But there are those who would just not give up.

Never look down at them,
Never think they won't do something impressive,
Never think they won't become famous,
Never think they can't be scientists,
Never think they can't be award winning authors,
Never think that they can't have their art in a museum,
Never think they can't be wonderful singers,
Never think they can't be in symphonies,
Never think they can't prove you wrong,
Prove you wrong about everything,
They will show you that they are still amazing,
Still amazing even without a college degree,
Still amazing even without finishing high school,
They will prove you wrong about everything you said.

don't be afraid to fail, poetry
