You to the Max

Think of it:

you’re born with the ability to wish what you want
but you don’t know you have that ability
and you’re raised in a house absent wealth
absent security
absent many of the basic needs.

You could imagine anything you desire
but who could imagine that they have that ability?
So you live in poverty
live destitute
until somebody suggests to you
the merest possibility of what you can do
and you begin to believe in yourself
and you start to get wise to the reality
you can create with a snap of your fingers.

You start making things happen
all around you.
Things that are good for you
bad for others.
Then things that are good for more folk
because you feel better about yourself
and you want to spread the love
and in so doing you recognize more
of what you’re capable of again
and the power within grows
and you get a real sense
of the fantastic.

This is you.
This is everyone, really,
but this is mostly you
because you’re especially special.
You.
