Have faith in yourself and you can achieve your goals.

Nobody knows what dwells inside you

or what you can ride through

Don’t let unfaithful ones guide you

and make you decide to

give up

and not live up to your potential

Know success is in you

no matter what you’ve been through

Some will try to convince you

that your credentials are weak

Just ignore them when they speak

and keep reaching for your peak

Turn the other cheek

or hit theirs

Whatever it takes to get where

you want to go

You want to blow?

Keep contending

Only depending on what your heart is blending and sending

through your veins and to your brain

is what I’m recommending

Stay ascending

Put an ending to descending

Make pretending a reality

and rise like a salary

The things that come out of me

won’t have many doubting me

The world is about be

given a new style to see

I’m proud to be me

Shall we see

how easy it is to be free

of negativity

My people we

Got What It Takes

    Great write, Shawn! Too many times we let the haters and the doubters keep us from reaching our full potential. We need to set our aspirations higher – even if we miss the mark, we will be a long way ahead of where people thought we could go.
