Shoot For The Stars, Don't Settle For The Ceiling

There's
always
a
limit.
We don’t know what it is,
or
when
it
will
come.

Each time it happens
doesn't
not trying
for
what
we
think can't be done,
kill
what
we
could
have
become?

Strong character, integrity,
doomed.
Cheap, inescapable denial
the ally to survival,
leaving
no
room
for
miracles
to
unfold.

Not even God can give back
what was given up.
