Perseverance

Never quit,
Wisdom comes from elders-
And that which lies within,
Attach yourself to your dreams
For only you can obliterate them,
Shatter them like crystal,
Allow them to rest within your mind-
Force them upon yourself as goals,
Dreams are what make us, us
Goals are what make them possible,
Steps are taken to achieve the seemingly impossible,
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit-
And were adorned with burden,
They lived,
You can live too.
