Be the Best

Be the best that you can be-
    Don't try to be me
   You are the only one that can accomplish the things YOU wish
    You wanna' catch a fish, go ahead and catch a fish!
   You can accomplish anything feel
    Don't just gaze at that lousy ol' reel
   Be real!
     Go catch that fish!
   That dish can wait! 
     There's only one thing that wait-
     Your self-respect and goals

Ok.... I don't really know why I used fishing in this poem, but it seems to work!
