Harnessing the Best You

Tell me your story,

but let it be true.

I want to know the dreams,

that beat inside of you.

Lend me your wisdom,

that I might learn from the best.

I promise to study hard,

just put me to the test.

Show me your weakness,

don’t hide it away in shame.

So when I feel overwhelmed,

I’ll know that only human nature is to blame.

For through your story,

I will find the path to me.

I will see the dreams I’ve dreamt,

and who I am meant to be.

Through your wisdom,

I will find where there’s room to grow.

I will see new pathways,

that lead to things I didn’t know. 

Though your weakness,

I will see the strength within.

To overcome the fears I have,

to let my true self begin.
