This is ME - Take it or Leave It

Like A Rock - I Must be Hard
Like An Oak - I Must Stand Firm
Cut Quick - Like My Blade
Think Fast - Unafraid

Like a Cloud - I am Soft
Like Bamboo - I Bend in the Wind
Creeping Slow - I'm at Peace
Because I Know
It's Okay to Be Afraid

Jeps

Everytime a day unfolds,
I see all the possibilities the world has to offer
I can play in the sun today
Or ride the bullet train
Maybe climb the Eiffel tower
Or swim the English Channel
I can sip my coffee in France
Or eat tacos in Mexico
Maybe rebuild the pyramids in Egypt
Or rediscover Atlantis
I can also choose to be just me today
I'll be lazy and I'll 'work' the day off
Or I'll surf the net and humor my sister with updates
Maybe I'll be my usual pessimist self
and negate all the good in the world

But TODAY, I want to be different
Today, I'll look inside
Find all the possibilities I can offer
I can play with my strengths
and ride the waves of my dreams
Maybe climb an improvement tower
and swim over my mistakes
I can sip coffee back in school
and eat back at home
Maybe rebuild my life over
and rediscover my own treasures
I can choose to be the NEW me
I'll find how my 'work' can develop me
and surf the net on ways to do this
Maybe I'll be an optimist for the day
and see the beauty of the world

Today, I will remember, I was born for something.
And I'll haul my lazy ass up and find it.
