Be “cringe”.

Be awkward.

Let them say what they will.

Do what you truly love.

Do it all for the thrill.

Be “cringe”.

Get embarrassed.

You don’t have to be shy.

The haters can hate.

Don’t let them make you cry.

Be “cringe”.

Just get out there.

It’s as simple as that.

Be too young, or too old.

Be too skinny, or fat.

Be “cringe”.

Find your passion.

They can’t tell you it’s over.

Just go out in the world with

A good head on your shoulders.

Be “cringe”.

Do your best.

All you can do is try.

Life is too short,

And one day, we’ll all die.

Be “cringe”.

Don’t forget,

That to try is courageous.

Your dreams will inspire.

Your hope is contagious.

Be “cringe”.

Don’t lose faith, 

When you hit a hard wall.

You don’t have to quit,

So don’t you drop the ball.

Be “cringe”.

And remember,

When it all feels worth nothing,

Failure is the first step,

To be brilliant at something.
