Dream Killers


Do you know what puts my rage at max?
"Your dream sucks, just look at the facts"

No, what is wrong with you?

Because my dream is odd I can't see it through?

And tell me, what makes you think you know best?

You think I'll fail because it's harder than the rest?

Well you know what, I'm up to the risk!

But yes, I know, success won't be brisk

And sometimes, I'll fail, but though I may look beat

Success and fail is not a two way street.

So, I'll fail, and fail, and maybe I'll fail some more

But one day, I'll fly, I'll soar

Anyway, the reason I tell you this rhyme

If you have a dream, go out, make it shine

And please don't listen to those that believe

That if your dream is odd it can not be achieved

Because if you always try, and never quit

And no matter how hard you always commit?

Then you

Will have your dream come true
