A short film by Alexandre Nequado on daring to become one's self.
Un film court d'Alexandre Nequado sur le courage pour devenir soi-même.
I am the young boy who is filled with the wonder of life
I am the child who has to learn about good things
I am the childhood that everyone had dreamed of
I am the child who has discovered pain
I am the one who became old
I am the one who came to understand "No"
I am the one who had to surrender
I am the one who was pleased with failure
I am the one who discovered the light
I am the one who fell in love with light
I am the one who saw hope
I am the one who became younger with hope
I am the one who no longer understands "No"
I am the one who believes in each person
I am the one who will never surrender again
I am the one who lights fires and does not fill buckets
I am the one who has the courage to dare to become what we can become
I am the hand that writes his history.
