A Word of Advice
I want to tell you
to go ahead and reach out
    for what you want.

I want to tell you
to go ahead and try;
    try to make things happen
        that you want to happen.

Along the way
there may be some pain,
disappointment and doubt,
but if you never try,
you'll never know
what might have been,
and you'll always wonder
"what if" and "if only..."

Even though you
might be scared,
you'll reason to be
proud of yourself
and glad that you dared
to reach out
    for the dreams
        that only you
            can make true.
