Open

Open your mind to new things, Amazing what it brings, Staying positive this must you do, Do not act surprised I think you knew, Stop looking around you know who, With these mental blocks up you grew, No problem do not boo hoo, Change your thinking yes start anew, Easy no it will be not, A battle probably toughest I fought, Wanted to quit sure a lot, That is negative that's how you get caught, Reading books is how I was taught, Raise the percentage of use in your mind, Limits limitless you will soon find, Leaving old thoughts way behind, If you don't try you will never see, Happened to others not only me, Some believe some do not agree, They'll stay stuck right where they be, From old ways never will they flee, Think it will work uh maybe, Yes it will this I decree, Stay positive put it in your head, Remember these words that I said

"easy no it will be not, a battle probably toughest I fought" I really like that line!
