Array ( [sid] => 173019 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Be your Best [time] => 2012-06-15 02:41:03 [hometext] => still very much a beginner. I believe that people shoot down people who are successful. Dont let someone put you down if you're not at the top. Prove them wrong [bodytext] => You chase your dreams when your little
Until your parents tell you to be civil
Back then you stopped at nothing
Not even at people''s shoving

You trudged right on through
But then, you got older
People''s judgement tried to stop you
No one can take the power of the beholder

Of a talent so surreal
That it makes you smile with zeal
Someone''s verdict is another''s poison
So what if you''re not chosen

All that matters is what you think
Of how you performed
Don''t let others make you shrink
Or force you to conform

Everyone has a talent
That nobody can take away
You must be valient
And smile anyway

Even if someone doesn''t believe in you
Show them that their thoughts are untrue
Everybody is waiting
For you to Break down

Everyone is watching for you to slow down
But turn around, show them your crown
Because you did your best
And your best, if you want
Can be better than the rest [comments] => 3 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Domination [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Bravo!
You truly have His light. Woe to him/her that tries to please everybody.
instead of the Lord.
Thank Him for the Wisdom He has given you.

I Love the line especially.

Don''t let others make you shrink
Or force you to conform

Don't even try.

Blessings
Elizabeth
