Make It

January 6, 2014

They tell you, you won't make it

Unless you fake it

Your dreams stay dreams

And the reality never changes

The barriers have been created

And the time has been dated

Only for those who are gated

Escape the fear

Escape the sneer

Escape the years

Of living someone else's career

Follow your path

Hidden from the wrath

Don't fake it

Make it
