You!

YOU Our parents our schools, society, We have grown up with them telling us who we should be, Your Religion your culture, all the way through, Without all that input, who is it in you? Who is it you’ll follow, like sheep till the end For it’s a new fashion, a massive new trend! To THINK for oneself, BE who YOU really are When you can find YOU, you’ll transcend really far Don’t listen to rumours, they fill you with doubt Find out the truth, of what your life’s about! You can only do this, by following your dreams Don’t fall down with knock backs, as hard as that seems Believe in yourself, and follow your goals To get to the top, you will fall down some holes But don’t be discouraged, see yourself through Rise to the TOP! And find the YOU that’s In YOU!!!! www.thegiftifonlyyouknew.com

You're right when you say you will fall down some holes. I've been in some deep ones and try to always climb out. Great write! Dan C ps. Thanks for your comments on my work.
