Can I?

by Trinity Rayne

Can I move mountains sometimes it seems impossibly so
Other days I feel I can fight the doubt and give it a go
Can I battle the demons in the arena of my mind and not succumb
Can I find out how to face them all without feeling numb
Can I dig myself out of the hole I dug myself in
Can I find the strength to do all of this and win
Can I learn to love and accept myself for me
Can I accept my flawed blueprints and leave them be
Can I be anyone I want and do what I want to do
Can I be like a soldier that keeps on pushing through
Will the Can I's that I ask turn into I cans someday
Can I finally stop being stubborn and move out of my own way
Can I be like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon
Can I be like the cow in the nursery rhyme that jumped over the moon
Can I be a person that I myself am proud of
Can I break free from the cycle of hate and just learn to speak only love
