Zebra...AKA Racing Stripes Poem

Zebra,

I see a-ha

saw Racing Stripes

I loved it yipes

it made me cry

and i know why

it spoke to my heart

film-making is such an art

i was surprised cuz thought it was a cartoon

with live animals talking wow and then

when tears flowed a kid next to me stared

i guess she never saw someone older than her cry before

I could feel her stare but didn't go there

I just kept wiping the tears away

maybe she will understand someday

i loved the premise of the story

i loved the lesson learned

i hope a lot of people got it

you have to believe in yourself

don't let others tell you

what or who you are

what or who you should be

just be yourself

let your dreams go

full force forward

let your dreams come true

they can you know

if you let them go

on their way and

never go back

full force on the race track

or never back away when faced with a challenge

go for it and give it your all

if you do it is ok if you fall

cuz you know you did your best

and your best is all you can do

if they don't appreciate you

who cares anyways

you need to live your life your way

no holds barred

go full force

trust the source

you'll never know til you get out there and try

do your best and figure out why

you held back and encourage others to go forward

there is so much to look toward

if only we allow ourselves to be free

to just do it and let's see..

now if i could only take my own advice

that'd be really nice
