Dream On

It's like that Aerosmith song, you have to capture it, feel it melt in your palms. that true gold, the things you did that everyone said you couldn't you chased it, even when you knew you were far behind in this everlasting competitive race. when you got knocked down, but picked up your shattered ego and trudged on. you were told you weren't good smart, strong or good enough to capture it. you've smelt the pure jealousy of those that have knocked you down, because you choose to rise over and over again. Sure you've doubted yourself along the way, thought about giving in, thought you wouldn't make it to the finish line. You began seeing yourself as the failure they see you as. Just when you start to believe that everyone was right, you've come to a point when you have to choose between whom you want to be and who they want you to be. You have to keep being you and never cease to stop, because dreams are reachable, even when they seem lost in the stars.
