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
