Favorite Quote:
"Impossible is just a big word, thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. Its a dare. Impossible is nothing"

You try, try, try,












Try, try, and













Nothing matters
You put forward
Your best effort,
But it doesn’t matter

You push yourself
To the highest level,
Hoping that
If you do this,
It’ all go away.

But no—

—It just comes back,
Just as strong,
Almost knocking you
Off your feet

Eventually you’ll realize,
That it doesn’t matter
What they think,
But what you think

So with new courage
Never found before,
You take off
On your wings,
And fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly away,
Breaking the chains
That binds you,
And knocking down
The walls, that you
Put up.

This is it
This is your chance,
Your dream,
To be what YOU want to be—

—Its freedom,
Its Impossibility,
Its Believing in Yourself,
To take on the Unthinkable—
