Secrets

Once we have dreams
Make it big
Changing the world
Be at our happiest selves

When life goes against us
Telling us to keep dreams away
Put in the box
Lock it
Throw away the key

Being slaves 
Of things we do not want
We know
But somehow stuck there

Nothing
Just pain and frustration
In our hearts
Pulled 
Two directions
Away from each other

Till we forget them
Gone
Fixated in procastination and excuses
Just running away

Why we are doing this
The true reason
Within ourselves

Do not keep it too long
These beautiful dreams
Soon turn to painful regrets

Do things you love
Fail and learn
Ask questions
As many as you can
Becoming less stupid 
Better as you can be

Speak out
The raw emotions
To people you care the most
As they care for you
"I love you"
" You meant something special to me"

Try 
When it does not work out
It lasts a day
Embarassment is nothing
Knowing the answer
Set you free

Moving on
Allowing more beautiful things
Meant for you
You just know why

Let go of secrets
Let them fly high
Making them into reality
Real and true
