I use TO be, fat slouching and sad and slow, as a  fallen, LAZY-old-GRIZZLEY
But now, im as a mighty EAGLE, happily, SOARING, and GAINING, AIR, fancy, and FREE

I use to feel, very low, self-esteem
i forgot the champion, who i always knew that i was, i FORGOT, all about my DREAMS

I forgot the strength, stamina, and endurance, that i had inside
i felt, DESTROYED, i LOST, my way and PRIDE

But im remembering NOW
My DREAMS, of being a CHAMPION, and i know HOW

As i know im on a MISSION, of SUCCESS
and im going for the GOLD, im becoming my best of my BEST

I remember, how for so very long, that i have felt, so down, with frown, destroyed, and surviving, and so very very far away from my BEST
but as im moving forward, with POSITIVE, MOMENTUM, ENERGY, and MOTIVATION, i put everything else to REST

As we all, in our life, living, and love come to realize and know
all things come and pass and GO

no matter what use to be
No matter what of all the good, bad and ugly things that have happened in my life to ME

All that matters at this very exact point in time
is that with faith and hope, and a set mission in my heart and mind, like an EAGLE, i continue to SOAR, and leave all of the saddness, hurt and despair, far below me and BEHIND

For us all, each and everyone
we have to decide and choose, in our LIFE, LIVING, and LOVE, if we are GOING to WIN or LOSE, and treat ourselves with the greatest love, honor and RESPECT, second to NONE

When i was young, i was as a ferocious, mighty strong GRIZZ, so loud so confident, so brave , enduring and STRONG
but time, and life, humbled and hurt me, making me feel, sad, worthless, down, and WRONGED

What i use to be, has, and is EVAPORATING, fast, not SLOW
and im on an UNSTOPPABLE, positive, steady, LIFE CHANGING, rearranging, resustaining, ROLL

Success, is failure turned inside out
to improvise, adapt and overcome, any and all obstacles great and small, never give up, never give in, believe that you can achieve, believe that you can and will WIN, thats what its all about

What i was before, i am now no more
as with my MISSION, in my HEART, and MIND, im on the RIGHT, POSITIVE, TRACK for SURE

I had to learn to first LOVE ME, just as I AM
and to become my best mentally, physically, and spiritually, and simply, dream BIG, and to be and strive to BECOME, the very best that i CAN
