Dreams
You can be whatever you want
Like a doctor, pilot or engineer
Dreams do come true
But it all starts here
If you follow your dreams, they will come true
If you put your mind to it
You can make a better world for me and you
Don’t matter if you are a he or a her
If you work hard and believe, your dreams will appear
Motivation
Motivation is the thing that keeps people going
Some people find it through people or goals
Without it people would do nothing
People need it like a fire needs coals.
Youth
We are Youth
We love games, cars and movies
Such as The Fast and the Furious
We are fun
And also very curious
We are energetic and exhilarating too
We are Young
Younger than you
Overcoming
Poverty is a struggle
Poor people try to overcome
It holds some people back from greatness
But that’s only some
Poverty is not the only struggle
There are many more
Some mental some physical
But once you overcome these struggles, it feels like an eagle able to soar
