Pressure can create beauty or beasts

Pressure can create success or lessons

Either you remember why you do 

Or you fall to repeat regressions

A back on the ground 

Is a dreamer who is still unbound

They can see the ever expanding sky

Through clouds of our world 

To stars that flicker the ideas of desire

A man without a dream is bound to perish

As in a man who cannot dream

His life is bound to the actions he’s to

Repeat and are all too familiar 

Nothing is wrong of a hard worker

They may have a dream that they create

A hungry mind who they can be proud for

They accept their limits and perfect them

So that they can push their dreamers

Past the ones they think is there 

The only pressure that life brings 

Is asking what’s over the edge

Don’t. Just leap.

I'm as creative as life makes me, as monumental as my name rings, and as thoughtful as the world.
