     Where would I be without my goals, 
     My dreams, 
     My hopes, 
     My plans? 

     If I never succeed in what I wish, 
     Am I as bewildered as a child; 
     Lost, forever wandering 
     Never knowing what lies ahead? 

     Would I hold a lowly job 
     Lacking in knowledge 
     With no ambition 
     Or unique talents to talk of 

     Without my planned future 
     Is there no hope? 
     Would my life crumble 
     As petals do in the cold? 

     My life would be one of torment, 
     Hidden deep inside. 
     For I would know that I had the potential 
     Buried deep within me all along 

     To fail where I could succeed; 
     To lose what I had to give 
     But the question to really ask would be 
     Would I still have the will to live?
