A simple dream
Cold as a winter’s night
I silently question what’s right
Like a child I want to smile but it seems wrong
My heart knew what I had to do but I wasn’t that strong
The pain was blatantly shown on my weary face
I felt lost but my courage and determination were in place
How could I just walk away from a cause that called my name
A part of me wanted to turn away but my pride didn’t feel the same
I put my negative thoughts on a dusted table as I stood like a man
With a loud and clear voice I told my reflection that I will do all I can
I stood tall and confident as I faced the critcs that were left confussed
Some loose hope but I believed that I wouldn’t allow myself to be refused
To the almighty Lord I pray and hope that he can show me my lost smile
So to you my friends I say believe in a dream and it will be worth the while
