Care for the Word

I don't care for the word 'limitations' 

I don't care for the word 'burdens' either 

They are like negative expectations

That are titled impossible to fix 

 

I prefer the word 'leverage' 

I prefer the word 'blessing' 

Grant it, life won't be easy as drinking a beverage 

But it gives you a chance to grow 

 

I like leverage, because it puts you ahead 

You might not think you are, because of the valley you're in

However, that drive you get is embed 

You'll need that drive in the future 

 

I like blessing, because it looks positively at the struggle 

And yes it is insanely hard to focus on the good

When all those 'burdens' seem to be all you juggle 

Remember you can learn from everything 

 

Do what you are passionate about 

Forget about your 'limitations' and your 'burdens' 

Think of your 'leverage' and your 'blessings' when you doubt 

That'll remind you of all the amazing things that make you who you are 

 

Your ability to shine is limitless 

And your burdens can't stop your dreams
