Believe In Yourself

Believe In Yourself

 They soar gracefully in the air with not a care other than life and flight
They never misconstrue anything other than maybe a brew
They go to a school that’s only for the winged and are constantly
 in search of prey never stopping for construction crews who don’t
 even serve stew.

 In flight they might appear as though Eagles or vultures 
but that is an illusion because they are only what they are
 regardless of tar and if Hawks can only be Hawks then you
 can only be you.

  Be forever open to learning and believe in yourself though 
 not an elf so step out of your proverbial box- with confidence
 you will do well no matter where you dwell-Do not allow fear 
 to restrict you but believe in yourself and step over the invisible
 fence
