My Dreams, My Goals,


I grew up knowing that my family didn't have plenty of finances,
 
Never did I let this deter from my wants and dreams,
Even if I experienced  my parents pain and suffers,
Every screaming battle and tear that was lost into pillows,
Defeat is something that I never allow to beat me,
 
The dreams of supporting my family is one of the goals,
Here I am asking for any helping hands,
Including hands from the friendliest of strangers, 
Strength to continue is something I will find within me,
 
Scholarships are needed to help me create new goals,
College is one of those goals,
Having knowledge to help the next generations,
Only allowing doubts and fear to perish,
Living a life out of my childhood daydreams,
Allowing new ideas to be used by others,
Recreating a perfect image in the eyes of my parents,
Suddenly a child who can change their dreams,
Having the ability to go to any colleges,
I need this to prove that I can fulfill my wishes,
Power and success I shall find in myself with your help.
