More Than A Headstone

Seven Billion people.

With over 200,000 births every day.

How are we supposed to know who we will be?

So many people telling you what you can and cannot do.

but me? I strive to be more.

I strive to take on every challange that comes my way.

I strive to make people proud.

With seven billion people against you at times, don't listen.

the world cannot tell you who you are.

In 200 years will people remember you?

be the person you want to be because in 200 years, 

you will will be more than a headstone.
