It can’t be done
They can tell you
You are wrong

But they can’t stop
The Dream

They can tell you
You are off key
They can tell you
They can’t hear

But they can’t stop
The Song

They can tell you
You have no rhythm
They can tell you
You have two left feet

But they can’t stop
The Dance

They can tell you
To stay down
They can tell you
You can’t win

But they can’t stop
The spirit

Dream, Sing, Dance but most of all
Let your spirit rise from the ashes
Of disappointment and soar
Above those who tell you

Right on... always strive to become what is, what you may become. You embody that attitude of 'never surrender' in this poem, quite well I might add. Good write and hold onto that pride of showing others what you're made of... especially when they say 'you can't'
