Define Your Limits

The quiet whispers of a dream 
stir within, a gentle, persistent call.
Doubts may loom, and shadows creep,
But the heart knows its own truth, standing tall.

For this much is clear, a fundamental plea: 
Dreams don't work unless you do,
So if you put in the work, all your dreams can come true.

It's in the effort, the learning, the rise from every fall, 
the unwavering belief in the seed you've sown.
Don't let the world dim your spirit's light,
nor let another's fear become your own.

Within you lies strength, a fire unquenchable, vast.
Remember always, and let this truth hold fast:
Nobody can define your limits except you.

So rise. Step forward, brave and free. 
Shape your destiny.
