My Life Goal

My goal in life is to inspire 
I want to leave my mark
To bring hope to those in need

    It seems like I've come far in life 
I am young, yes
And i know theres more to go

    I'll be damned if i never helped anyone
Even if i only help one
Thats one more than some

     I'm only 15 years of age
I have a long road ahead
But i still wish to inspire 

     Way i see it is what better way to make change
Than for it to start with the youth
Make them educated and witty 

     I do not claim to be smart
Quite the contrary in fact
But nonetheless i will speak fluently with power in my throat
    
      Every man has weaknesses 
And every man has strengths
Together we cover the weaknesses with each others strength
   
     I always listen to music with meaning
Because you can hear a song
But you feel the lyrics

    I wish to inspire
Even if its only a single soul
I will leave my mark; no matter how small
