Dream Attained
I allow my almighty pen
To speak to those arrogant men
They laugh at my hidden creativity
Are they qualified to judge my ability?
Jealousy painted a picture on their face
As I willingly put them in their place
In this world dreams are mostly craved
Few allow these roads to be paved
Doors of the past are never closed
Weaknesses tends to be blatantly exposed
I admit that I am not a product of perfection
Instead I swim in the sea of their rejection
Tears will fall and that fact I will not hide
Strength is weakness if you put it aside
A man that watches his dream as it dies
Will be steered away from those clear skies
Following another’s well paved path
Is not eliminating him from failure’s wrath
I will pursue this path until the very end
A man is nothing if his words he can’t defend
Is it right to pursue what is considered impossible
What if you ironically made that dream possible?
You’re teamed up with your faith and never let go
The roads still exist even if the world is screaming no
Many offered their so called congratulations
Surprisingly you overcame their expectations
To speak to those arrogant men
They laugh at my hidden creativity
Are they qualified to judge my ability?
Jealousy painted a picture on their face
As I willingly put them in their place
In this world dreams are mostly craved
Few allow these roads to be paved
Doors of the past are never closed
Weaknesses tends to be blatantly exposed
I admit that I am not a product of perfection
Instead I swim in the sea of their rejection
Tears will fall and that fact I will not hide
Strength is weakness if you put it aside
A man that watches his dream as it dies
Will be steered away from those clear skies
Following another’s well paved path
Is not eliminating him from failure’s wrath
I will pursue this path until the very end
A man is nothing if his words he can’t defend
Is it right to pursue what is considered impossible
What if you ironically made that dream possible?
You’re teamed up with your faith and never let go
The roads still exist even if the world is screaming no
Many offered their so called congratulations
Surprisingly you overcame their expectations
