Cmon
Cmon
Go for it
Able to but never do

I can
I can
Take a chance
I am not a super fool

Unlike
Unlike
My hero
I live within a prison

My mind
My mind
So shallow
My mind, a kiddy pool

This life
What life?
Avoid sharks
Life is an ocean, swim

Author's Note: Inspired by the words of Christopher Reeve. In his final interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 one year before he died, he said: "Being physically paralyzed for eight years, I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons. You know, all the reasons people don't become what they could become or don't fulfill their potential, and they're walking around able-bodied, I'm going, 'come on, come on, go for it.'"
