Whose Dream Am I Living!
The world's on fire but not literally
there are sparks of hope everywhere
yet people keep throwing dirt on those sparks
til they turn to dust and crumble
but that's not enough
they laugh in your face and tell you to take another shot
so you take your shot, proudly
but the laughter only grows
defeat sets in
but thats not enough
you refuse to crumble
while sitting among ruins
never learning how to accept defeat
they stare, they laugh, they wonder
but they never leave the path
they dare not
because they are too small minded
you my friend are going places
don't pick up their pace
or hope to switch places
your comparisions are meaningless
why compare a soaring eagle or a creature yet to be seen
to something so bland and simple
you my friend have it in you to succeed
let the anger fuel your intentions to succeed
let the world around you light up
never fear that light
because on the other side
you'll hate to look in the rearview mirror
in fact you'll find it too cringe
that the person you once knew was scared to go
after the things you now love so deeply
for if you only listen to the voice of the ignorant
that is what you will achieve
why should someone who's small minded influence who and what you become
laugh, cry, dance
just get back up
why not make the impossible beome a living dream.
