Make your own rules

Don’t be so loud, someone might hear you
Don’t color outside of the lines
You’re too big to be a jockey, or an astronaut
You don’t have enough grace to be a ballerina
Science and math are for boys
Girls can’t be strong, can’t be leaders
You’re not smart enough
You’re not good enough
Dreams are just dreams
A wishes never come true
Four-leaf clovers and shooting stars aren’t magic
And you will never be a real princess

Never stop reaching, never stop striving
Toward what you want to be
Ignore the “don’ts” and “can’ts”
Make your own rules
