My Inability To Let My Inabilities Stop Me

I was born without a voice to sing, but I sing every chance that I get; I was born with having two left feet, but I’m out dancing every step; I was born without an artistic bone, but I love painting portraits of the sunset; Being born without ability hasn’t stopped me from doing anything, yet. I was born without athletic form, but, in sports, I love to compete; I was born without a musical ear, but my guitar makes me complete; I was born without intelligence, so a few classes I had to repeat; I was born without a lucky star, but I won’t give up in the face of defeat. If you only do those things that you do well, you are missing out on so much more; I won’t be disgraced by coming in last place, was a promise that I once swore; So, come along and join me now, in something you don’t do so very well; We’ll have some fun and everyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell!
