Dare To Dream

Dimmed and crestfallen You object for the vices! Your trimmed hopes Your dampened spirits See what has befallen you You played the prey You braced for the claws In the grinding grip An enduring grotesque A slew of bottlenecks Verily the grain of misfortunes You grew pale and sunken Dejected and conquered In a fairytale 'Who spelt your doom? You object of mockery Drop that flawless skin That shadow you revered Unlock that potent self Enliven your reasons For life is seasons Seasons for reasons Reasons to live for.

This is a thought provoking poem meant to dare and energise those of us feeling helpless,drained and are unable to overcome their fears, failures, problems or even vices on their lives. We need first to dare ourselves to break free from the 'defeatist syndrome'.
