When you're at that moment
you don't think about anyone else
You don't think about your friends or your mom
or your teammates or your sister
All you think about is a number
a cold, empty number
How long would it take?

It's just you in that moment
all you, at your most real, most powerful, most broken
Where the only one who can make you turn away is you

They say that power casts a spell over people
all I can hope is that, for this moment, it's not true
Because if you dip your toes in the ocean too many times
one day, you're bound to fall in

*I don't want to fall, do I?

This is for everyone who told you,
You can't do it, you will never achieve

You look into the mirror and see that your reflection doesn't believe

Inner thoughts of disbelief, dishonesty in reach, your only lying to yourself, when you say that you can't be

Something else, one of a kind
only one thought will bring ease to your mind

Knowing that you can glide, succeed in motions astride, believe and open your mind to that fact that your life is fine

Your more than a piece of gold, your simply extraordinary, don't let these words exist in your vocabulary

"I'm a quitter" their simply non-existent think bigger, brighter look into that future of yours

For the world is at your feet, don't let your dreams fall underneath

I'm a tower, more like as tall as can be

I simply watch over those who need help when they seem In distress or depressed, I want to help them believe

I try to fill the gaps in between, all the
Stress and the heat, because these last following weeks, I haven't been able to sleep

This is a message for me and but
  more for the person who reads

I will not quit but succeed
I will just stand, not retreat
