I am but a boy but,
I am much more than that.
I see in others the hope,
I see it where it always sat

I am the product of my failure,
I become my success.
I have my shortcomings indeed but,
I, still, am trying my best

I am in others, and
I see the fears and dreams they keep,
I follow in their footsteps,
I watch myself struggle in my sleep

I am what I wish to be
I make my dreams reality
I, alone, make them real
I have the creativity
