"Dream Big"


People say dream big.

Do they ever really mean it?

I dream of fame and success.

They tell me do my best. 

But they never really believe in me.

Don't tell me I can make it.

Then show me no support.

I'll always be a dreamer.

But you want nothing of the sort.

You want me to be "normal".

You want me to be "smart".

If you saw it from my prespective

You'd say "Follow your heart".

Maybe I will, but probably not.

You're the reason my dreaming has stopped.
