Finally My Dream
Once, I had a dream
That was not my own
I tried so very hard
To nurture the seeds that were sown
As with all dreams
I woke up
Realizing that was not my luck
That was not my drive
That was not at all that kept me alive
I took a breath so deep
That I could feel the ground
Through the concrete on the street
Dreams have come to me and slipped away
I refuse to let go
I command it to stay
If they were not for me
Let them believe I was in the dark
My eyes have adjusted
Yet they still see no spark
You can’t do this
You won’t do this
Why can’t I?
Because I am not you sis
This is my dream
My path, my goal
Take that dream you gave me
Let me see how it goes.
For too many years, I gave daydreams away
Too many tears flowed and did not stay
This is the dream that came to me
Not your fear
Your doubt
And let's say it
Jealousy
That will not stop me from making this a reality
That was not my own
I tried so very hard
To nurture the seeds that were sown
As with all dreams
I woke up
Realizing that was not my luck
That was not my drive
That was not at all that kept me alive
I took a breath so deep
That I could feel the ground
Through the concrete on the street
Dreams have come to me and slipped away
I refuse to let go
I command it to stay
If they were not for me
Let them believe I was in the dark
My eyes have adjusted
Yet they still see no spark
You can’t do this
You won’t do this
Why can’t I?
Because I am not you sis
This is my dream
My path, my goal
Take that dream you gave me
Let me see how it goes.
For too many years, I gave daydreams away
Too many tears flowed and did not stay
This is the dream that came to me
Not your fear
Your doubt
And let's say it
Jealousy
That will not stop me from making this a reality
Author's Note
Follow your own dream, your own path. Not everyone will see what you are trying to accomplish and it not for them to see. It is for you to make them see. You are the most important person to have this dream.

Re. Finally My Dream
Sometimes our dreams are much more pleasant than our reality, our nightmares.
Be careful what you dream of when you're awake.
I liked your piece...👍

:Make no small dreams they don't have the power to reach lofty goals. Press on, each set, or setback, moves you closer. Hugs and love,Oral

Having the dream, your dream, what is truly your own…
People can try to take that away from you, but believing in yourself is what will make your dreams happen.

That's the beauty of our dreams & journeys...they're not meant for anyone else. And if they aren't able to support yours in their way, best they be on their way. Beautifully self-empowering piece
