It's not about being safe

It's not about being perfect

It's about getting out of bed

And doing what you never

Ever dreamed.


It's not about working till you die,

It's about living till you can't.

It's about feeling alive doing things that

Wake you up from your deep slumber.


Because you can't live every day

Like it's the same

Routines get boring

And soon go out of style.

You can't expect to have more,

If you don't work to deserve it.


Because Neil Armstrong

Wasn't handed the moon.

Thomas Edison didn't get

The light bulb to shine on his first try.

We aren't always handed

Success on a silver platter.

We gotta reach for

What we want,

And never let go of our ambitions

Never let go of our chance

A chance at happiness, love, success

Because sometimes

We might, sorta, maybe, actually,

 deserve it.
