Ashes of My Dream

Strings all over me Pulling me backwards Tying me down Down the ashes of my dreams My fear blazed like a wild fire Their tongues scorched me like devouring wild fire Their tongues had no positive utterance in my dream I could see my dream in ashes Despite scorching heat of criticism My dream never died In the ashes of my dreams I could see it striving I could see a flicker of a flame surviving the dying fire One complement snatched me out of a blazing fire Like a helicopter, it flew me away from my fears Up in the sky my dream withered ashes like a tree tilt its old leaves It was not just a ride but a revival of my dream Like a surviving little piece of wood in ashes My dream is alive and has kept me fighting My dream is now a reality; you can do the same with yours Never let your dream perish in ashes of your dreams
