I was warned not to aim for the highest of heights,
But when bestowed such a gift, what option do I have but to shine?
So I followed the wind whispering my name,
My body filled with exuberance,
My heart light as a feather,
Knowing today I don’t have to worry.
Today, my past doesn’t define what I can be,
Because my definition of success isn’t limited to what you deem as possible.
My definition of success is aiming to shine as long as possible,
Because you never know when you will fall from grace.
So yes, I did aim for the highest of heights, knowing there’s a chance I’d fall.
But shouldn’t we all?
