Tell Me I Can’t Poem
Updated: Jun 18, 2021
Look me in the eye
and tell me I can’t
I’ll prove you wrong
with a lifelong rant
Did I want it
in the first place?
Or get caught up
in a rat race?
You planted a seed
unleashed uncertainty and doubt
which ignited a flame
caused ambition to sprout
Now I’m committed
to this journey
Locked and loaded
on a gurney
You can try to hold me down
I sure as hell won’t drown
Grant me grace
in this space
through this life
full of strife
Time to pivot
Make a choice
Dig down deep
Use my voice
What does my heart
long to chase?
Why am I so scared
to embrace?
Grab my courage
Feel my thunder
Take a step
into wonder
Tell me I can’t
and watch me try
Doubt me
you’ll see me fly
