ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Courage to Try

I sat and cried,

The day I realised.

That your words were,

Just a mirror of 

What I thought of myself.

You said that I was a loser,

You said I couldn't make it big,

You said I have no courage,

You vilified me.

You were right,

But not all through.

You were right then,

Not today.

Cause, Today I don't see

The mirror and see the same me.

Yesterday what you said to me,

Isn't what defines me today.

I may be a loser,

I may not be able to make it big,

But today,

I have the courage to try.
