Just To Prove You Wrong
Out there is a goal no one else can see.
Only one person wants it, and that is me.
It seems so far away and so very distant.
I can reach it, but only if I am persistent.
Putting everything on hold, leaving life on a shelf.
There is only one thing in my way and that is myself.
When everything else is out of control and spinning,
most would say this is the end, I say its a new beginning.
I know some people out there say its a goal I can't achieve.
Obviously they don't know me, so I'll let them go on being naive.
Yes, there are times when I want to give up, the road is hard and long.
I will conquer my obstacles and fears, if for nothing else just to prove you wrong.
