i dream big but maybe less is more
i roll out of my bed and i open the door
and i go up to the mirror every other day
and decide if i'm satisfied with what i see
and i think about motivation posters back in third grade
i think about what people do and what they say
and how when we were younger they made so much sense
but they never seem to come back round again
and i think when we get older why do we suddenly go and re-evaluate everything that we see and think that words upon the classroom walls aren't true when they're all we ever really wanna do.
so i write a list of my ultimate goals and i step up to the mirror and consider it all. am i really insane, or just really optimistic? and if people try to doubt me should i really give a shit?
this list is getting too big, should i water it down? now i'm talking to myself and there's no one around.
so i scratch a few items up and off the list and i glance back in the mirror and i second guess it, and finally
i see that if i'm gonna aim high i might as well point straight up in the sky because even if i'm pulled down by gravity, think of all the views & people that i'll see. so i tear up the list and i throw it away and i cover all my walls with some chalkboard paint, and on the ceiling i draw stars & the planets and shit, and on the walls i chalk it up: "just go for it"
