Just an Elephant

Don’t ever let them tell you that
You’re just an elephant, or a human, or another life
One who is not meant to shoot for the centre of the Sun
Don’t ever let them tell you that you are not good enough
Or special enough to be that guiding light
For when they say you can’t – you say you can
And when they say you won’t – you say you will
Don’t ever let them tell you that your dreams are wrong
Or misguided, or misdirected.
Do what feels right in your heart
Be what you feel is in your heart
Be they – your lover, or partner, or parent, brother or sister or
Friend – for when it comes to the end and you leave this show
You will take a bow and leave alone
You are so much more than all that people tell you
You are here to be magnificent
Be so.
