Dreams Are Worth the Fight
Sometimes life can be so suffocating
Feels like my life is a story someone else is narrating
So I take in the criticism like osmosis
The stress gets to me and I take two more doses
With a smile on my face and my heart in pieces
While everyone is trying to move me as if they had telekinesis
Feel like giving up so I remind myself of the goal
I almost break down and wonder why life is so cruel
Wishing I could just get away from all this bull
Things only get harder and reality seems animated
The obstacles get bigger and my dreams get decimated
People smiling to my face, their words probably fake
Their lies seem honeyed almost two sweet to take
But my skies are clearing, turning azure
And maybe, just maybe this is the end of my torture
With a pure heart and an open mind, I never lose hope
One way or another I'll get to the top and keep climbing the slope
Maybe I'll get fortuitous and hopefully my luck won't expire
I'll keep doing my best and build my own empire
