Can You Feel Me

Once I was working at a tourist place 
It was a hotel, restaurant and a conference center 
I saw some jewelry on the reception
I said to the receptionist 
One day my books will lay here 
And people will buy them like crazy 
That will be great she said 
In total disbelief. 
That´s how it is 
You got to see it, when no other can 
You got to believe, when no one will 
You got to carry your dream around 
All the time 
Protect it from doubters and pullers. 
Sometimes they will see it 
And hurt it, scratch it 
Even try to kill it
Sometimes you will get excited 
And tell everybody you meet 
Then suddenly you will feel stupid. 
I am writing it 
When I am nobody 
Can you feel me?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
