don't hold yourself back – My Soul is a Lock Without a Key

They’ll tell you not to try,

And tell you that you can’t.

They’ll tell you there are limits,

And those without them: “Intransigent!”.

I’ve known so many such as them,

And I’ve come to realize,

The strength and courage within you,

They’ll never accept or recognize.

So don’t ever hold yourself back,

For the sake of someone who “cares”.

No one will hold you back for your sake.

They’ll hold you back for theirs.
