Know Yourself

Know Yourself, and discover what your strengths
Are, utalizing those strengths as a force.
Be a force for change, in your range and length.
Blaze a trail, and watch nature take that course.
Know Yourself! Discover where you are weak;
Weak in your mind, body, soul, or spirit.
Overcome being weak to reach new peaks
In life. Speak your mind and watch them cheer it.
Know Yourself, and then know your surroundings,
The environment where the product starts,
As if your inspirations were pounding
In your head, like the beating of your heart.
     Know Yourself, and to yourself remain true,
     Then you will discover what you can do!
