The You Can Be Anything U Want Or Wish 2 B Lie

Whenever I hear someone say I was always taught to believe in myself and I can be and achieve anything I want and put my mind to The sky is the limit dare to dream and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise The 1st that springs to mind to me Is that's all well and good if you wish or choose to buy into that But unfortunately in life cold hard reality dictates that seldomly doesn't actually happen Until you eventually wake up 1 day and figure out for yourself sadly life don't work that way That belongs and should be resigned to the inside of a greeting card With a footnote saying P.S If everyone could be exactly what they choose or wanted to be Wouldn't life be great Or are you rather suggesting some people make the conscientious decision To be viewed and treated as nothing more less than worthless scum by other people Now ask yourself who is smart and who is dumb Is it me or is it them Or are you testing or is this a test of my intelligence And did I pass because that to me sounds like as if you are blowing smoke up my backside And that's ok and not a bare faced lie so long as what you are asking me to believe in is That you are bonufid living proof stood before my very eye's Proving all your and everything you ever dreamed of and aspired to become can come true if you believe and try hard enough So answer me this is this all you ever wanted to be Good enough for you but not for me I can do so much better

Chris(tophrt) hi! I jumped to read this! You speak truth & a pet peeve saying I’ve ranted about 40 yrs. Get this: parents tell their kids this every day, but a week after being diagnosed with. A tough chronic ill-ness or if born with one, such kids are told, Do all you can & you CAN live a Normal life. Diabetic kids hear that every day! I surveyed 450 adults told that! Thanks for this poem! Bravo!

I’ve often pondered these self delusional individuals, that honestly believe they can be anything they want to be, it’s an insult to the 4 billion poverty stricken people around the world, who cannot be sure if they will eat tomorrow, anyone going around talking this crap either got very lucky or are total narcissistic losers, good one Christopher
