I am optimistic and determined

I wonder about my future

I hear her voice in my head

I see what my life could be

I want to be my own person

I pretend there are no limits

I feel determined to succeed

I touch the other side of my life

I worry that side will resurface

I cry for those who have lost their way

I am optimistic and determined

I understand it is difficult

I say everyone can do it

I dream I can do it

I try to be the me I want to be

I hope that comes to play

I am optimistic and determined
