A Dream Is Possible

Many doubters want to kill,
the spirit, of those, starting to dream.
Just because, they were unable to,
patiently wait, for their chance, to redeem.

Spreading forth, their feeling, of failure,
instead, of being, willing to try.
Wanting to destroy, the possibilities, of others,
wanting to see people's dreams die.

Because misery loves company,
don't you listen and join the few.
There is still a chance for one to try,
so continue what you, have to then do.

Continue to give what it takes,
to make reality, what once was a dream.
Be determined, and disciplined in pursuing forth a goal,
having a shimmer, within your own gleam.

Realize a dream is possible,
that hard work is done, at a long stride.
From your endeavor, never lose hope,
toward yourself, believe from the inside.
