Don't tell me that I can't <br />because I know that I can. <br />Don't tell me to give up, <br />because I'm a winner, <br />and we don't quit. <br />Don't tell me that I'm a <br />nobody, because I'm <br />destined to be somebody. <br />Don't tell me I'm stupid, <br />because I probably know <br />more that you in some <br />things. <br />Don't say I'm smarter <br />than that, because I <br />still make mistakes. <br />Don't tell me to go <br />home, because this is <br />only a temporary home. <br />Don't tell me that it's impossible, <br />because I know a man who <br />can make it happen. <br />And don't tell me that <br />the sky is the limit, <br />because there are footsteps <br />on the moon.<br /><br />Jamal Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-tell-me-17/
