An urge
A bubbling eruption rising from the depths of fear
A burning declaration desperate for the world to hear
A flaming feeling with an irrepressible ascent
The strength and will to say "I can do anything"
Beaten down by the rains of restraint
The fury of a demon held back by the patience of a saint
The conflict between confidence and arrogance
The need to scream chained by a call for balance
But the phoenix breaks through even the barrier of death
A raging inferno growing hotter with every breath
"I can do anything" those words that sear the sky
"I can do anything" those words that let you fly
Every person on this earth
Every living thing
None of them are beyond our reach
Believe even in the light of the firefly
Believe in that budding glow that can kindle the night
A million fireflies will become the sun's light
A hope that shatters the walls of reality
An urge that silences all doubts
A blinding shine that makes you ignore the odds
Like a moth to candle, rushing towards your goal
Believing past belief, hoping past the hopeless
Nothing in this world is beyond your reach
Everyone can be saved, every life can be spared
No matter how ludicrous it sounds or how ridiculous it feels
Clutch that dream close to your heart because it's what makes everything real
Bleeding color in your eyes, wiping away the grey
Knowing that all you things you long to achieve
Will be fulfilled some day

They did and I have, may I long remember your words! Then show you as a boy that ran from home at 14 with no dream, I've made plenty along the way that has made my life worth living.... I now work with no degree, yet solve the problem others avoid with their certificates... The power is in your hands to make the difference!
Always appreciated
Much peace and respect
You're an inspiration to myself and many Dan, right now all I have are my words but you've lived them in a way I wish I could. Peace and respect to you to brother
Ha, that feels somewhat amusing due to the failure I can feel in my own little tribe. I guess that is life, none of us have it right. Tbh I cry most mornings before work and then read words like yours knowing, we are all just doing our best!
