They say you can be anything you want,
But forget the barriers your mind won’t let you cross.
They tell you it’s simple to find your truth,
But never say which truth you’ll need to keep and which to lose.

People speak of life as if it’s changeable on a whim,
Shaping dreams from the air and promises from dust.
They tell you many lies, yet the truth is undeniable:
Life is not what you want; it is only what it is.

Your wishes won’t shift the earth,
But how you stand will shape the ground beneath you.
In the end, it’s not what you desire,
But how you learn to bend or build—
That will craft the path ahead, deciding your ultimate fate.
