ive always been told
...you can only fly so high
ive always been told
...i cant have it all
ive always been told
...to do what is right
ive always been told
...not to fight all my battles
ive always been told
...to believe in what your told
ive always been told
...who to believe in

ive come to know
...that i can soar as high as i like
ive come to know
...i can have whatever i try for
ive come to know
...that what you think is right might be wrong
ive come to know
...that ill always fight my own battles
ive come to know
...to stand up for what i believe in
ive come to know
...that i believe in me

This is very good, Tiff!     I love how you contrasted the two parts of the poem so well to one another, each line had a complimentary one in the second.  I love this form of writing, personally, and this is a great example of why!  
You are marvelous, Tiffy!
