Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Dream Bigger

"Reality is something you rise above."  - Liza Minelli

today is nothing less than your blank canvas
so splash those colors never meant to harness
reality is just a bland and neutral tone

you’re meant to dare and soar alone
so spread your wings and don’t be sad
this stage is but your launching pad

propel your dreams and set them free
be wild extravagant go on a big fat spree
take off your blinders knowing the sky’s the limit

don’t slow down until you reach that summit
spark your reality with a dash or two of spice
in life you can’t hesitate to roll the dice

jack up the music sing loud your song
dance under the moon and stars
the whole night long
