Poem: Don't wait

Don't wait,
for someone else
to believe in you -
Believe in yourself!
Don't wait,
for someone else
to tell you,
what's wrong
or what's right -
Decide for yourself!
Don't wait,
for someone else
to put you
on top 
of the world -
Make the climb
yourself!
Don't wait,
for someone else
to provide you
with validation -
Validate yourself!
Don't wait,
in silence,
while truth
is sacrificed -
For popularity
and approval.
Be willing
to stand alone -
On conviction
and principle.
