Don't Take No For An Answer

Don’t let anyone tell you
You’re not good enugh
We all have dreams
Big dreams
Little dreams
Red dreams
Blue dreams
We strive to fulfill them
Pouring every once of energy we have
Into what we love to do
Making sacrifices to get
Where we want to go
Doing anything and everything we can
To feed the hunger ignited within us

Along the way
There are obstacles 
People tell you no
Reject you and your ideas
Dislike your trade 
Turn you away
These people are not worth a second glance
If they won’t believe in you
Shame
On 
Them
There is someone out there who will

We all understand the pain of rejection
Everyone has felt it at one time or another
Some people let it consume them
Crumpling them at the knees
We care way to much about what others think
Sometimes we need to take the time
To think of ourselves
Believing in yourself is the first step
If you belive in you
Others will too
Along the way when you stumble and fall
You get up
Brush yourself off
And try again

Someone tells you
You’re not good enough
Let it be fuel to your fire
Fight even harder 
To prove them wrong
Go fulfill your dreams
You are amazing
Don’t let anyone tell you any different
