"And why, you should follow your dreams, even if you feel as small as a mouse!" -Walt Disney


With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair,
Show the world your fearless ways.
Take the road less traveled,
Jump a mountain or two,
Let go of all the fear and the pain.

With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair,
Show the people that you're still alive.
You've made your mistakes,
And some really bad choices,
But sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places.

With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair,
Show the world that you will not surrender.
You're allowed to scream,
You're allowed to cry,
But you are not allowed to give up.

With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair,
Show the people your delicate smile.
Embrace what you have,
Because no one compares.
Let the stars shine for you.

With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair,
Show the world what you will become.
Hold that head up high,
Choose the uncommon path,
Because not all those who wander are lost.


The author's comments:
I originally wrote this piece as an assignment in my ELA class. I had written it at 10:40 at night and when I read it to myself I was not all that impressed. I left it anyway because I was tired and didn't feel like trying to turn it into something else. The next day my teacher read it out loud to my class and I remember being so embarrased because I didn't think it was all that great. But when he read it, and gave it life - my words lit up. Everyone listened, and I realized there were girls in my class crying. My words soared off the pages and brought me courage to keep writing. I hope people take some kind of motivation to not give up from my piece. Whether it's drastic, or just something small - don't give up. With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair - enjoy my piece.. and smile.
