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
