I Can

TO THE DOUBTFUL 

If I could fly 
I would spread my wings. 
If I could see would I open my eyes, 
If I could love 
I would open my heart. 
Why be a if, 
When you can do and be 
The impossible. 
I am what I am because of who I am, 
There will never be another like me. 
For I am original. 
The word if will never definite who I am. 
I am who I am because of being me. 
I spoke the power of life and it came alive 
So I can spread my wings, and I shall fly 
I can open my eyes ,and I will see 
I can open my heart and I will love. 
I can and will do the impossible 
My words became life 
And that's how I became me
