Freeing the Ghosts of Dreams
The long and tortuous road that
You travelled which brought you here
Explains the position you are at
And influences your hopes and fears.
Sometimes you travelled in circles,
Sometimes you followed straight paths,
Sometimes you went in a semicircle
Before returning to life’s long path.
But whatever has happened to you,
Remember that you affected your fate
When you decided your dreams could never come true;
Then started living the life you hate.
So, maybe it is time for you to decide
To break free from fate’s whirlpool and stop
Being the person you yourself deride
Knowing in your soul that you are not.
It may not be too late for you to be
The person that you should have been.
Maybe now is the time for you to free
The ghosts of your dreams trapped within.
So, mobilize creativity that you’ve neglected,
And plan your life forward from here.
Because life is too precious to be wasted,
And time has become too dear.
