Uncommon Dreams

Secrets of the world sit at my fingertips.
Unknown successes await to be unlocked.
Potential bursting from the seems.
Still afraid to live out my dreams.

Spotlight burns the skin from birth.
This last name has cast a huge shadow.
Youth has blinded any aspiration.
Or is it wisdom that blocks my determination?

Ridicule retorts from any question.
Words fall upon deaf ears.
Trying to explain the distorted view.
My attempts of understanding fall through.

A lack of desire to succeed bleeds.
Maybe its a fight of conformity.
Common teaching to have hope and believe...
Why dream like the common society of naive?

Beguiled pupils pray for comfort.
Influenced ignorants hope for change.
Uncorrupted and opened I plead for past.
Selfishness to create wealth is not my path.
