Can

I can’t.
I cannot.
I can’t.
I cannot.

I can’t dance
so I never let
myself step
on the
dancefloor.

I can’t get
a perfect score
in examinations
even if I tried hard
so I let myself
screw up
again and
again.

My voice sucks
so I never try
singing in front
of the crowd.

I can’t draw,
paint, write a poem,
do calligraphy,
and other art crafts.
Heck, ain’t great
on creating
such stuff.
Damn, I can’t.

And a lot of more
I can’ts out there.
You know why?
‘Cause I can’t.
Yes! I can’t.
Again, I can’t.
Can’t do anything
unique, superb,
and catching.
I’m a sucker.
A sorry loser.
Ain’t a risktaker too
’cause sad to say,
“I can’ t.”

For how long
I’ll keep telling myself
that “I can’t, I cannot”,
until everything
went far from me?

No! I need to do something.
I need to move forward.
I need to go.
My life isn’t here
in this safe spot. It’s outside.
It’s out there. So I need,
I need, and I need
to go beyond.

No matter
how difficult
my journey will be,
promise, I’ll do something.
I’ll move forward and go
’cause comfort zone
doesn’ t offer life at all,
it’s the haven that
I need to leave
to find myself.

Yes,
I can! Yes,
I can do it!
Again, yes, I can!
Yes, I can do it!

I know you can. Everyone is capable of going beyond their comfort zones so don’t tell yourself that you can’t. Yes, you can do it. Trust, have faith, and go.
