Limitless by Silvana Sabzevari
Alexandra Writers Centre Society
Among all the times I've fallen
Where the taste of defeat permeates through the air
Those struggles in the past have made me who I am
And they've all just been incentive for me
And despite the risk of failure, I'll keep on grinding
Because I wish not to be hindered by distractions
By what I know will limit my potential the most
For I know I can't falter, can't concede, can't stop reaching for new heights
Sometimes we might wonder what's the most we could do in our lives
What's the Uppermost limit of what we can achieve?
Why settle for ordinary...
When you could aim to be exemplary?
Some days it hurts
When your classmates spend their nights fooling around and having fun
And in your room all alone, you study
You work until your eyelids can't find the strength to stay open, fluttering shut
But in the end you'll recognize the worth
The unyielding determination evident in all the medals hung on the walls
Indifference won't lead to success, won't push you forward
Everyone's telling me to take it easy, telling me to relax, but I don't want to live my life laid back, I don't want to live MY life like that.
There's an Unlimited Number of things one can achieve
There's no limit on how far you can go in your life
But one thing's for certain
If you don't strive for it, you'll forever be limited in obtaining what you want
Farewell to the restrictions and limitations
Goodbye to all the regrets and "what if's"
Because it's time to become... Limitless
