No Need for ‘Dreams’
Pushed to have big dreams
Since we were children so small
Told it’s all part of the big scheme
To make us ‘happy’, that’s all
Always busy; a million things to do
Constantly dashing for the reward
Grasping for it as we quickly run through
No time for thoughts, moving onward
Taught to be like wolves chasing deer
Blindly running after their kill
Hesitating at no obstacle nor fear
So sure about our our goals and will
Now dreams are just burdens we carry
Set to be heroes remembered by all
Like Shakespeare, Einstein, and Marie Curie
Afraid to sit, stop, and stall
But hush my friend, listen to me
Who says a dream must be glorious?
Life’s a journey, and no matter the size of the dream you see
There’s always a chance to be a winner, victorious
And if you find it hard to have a dream at all
Let it go, take a break, and clear your mind of what’s inside
Every cloud has a silver lining in times for when you fall
Don’t bash yourself for not making it, celebrate that you tried
