Pursue your dreams even when
Circumstance tells you no!
It's not life that gets in our way
Or prevents us from going forward.
It's circumstance; it will put you down
And keep you there If you let it.
Understand life is full of circumstance
good and bad.
When a circumstances
is good we pay it no mind.
When it's bad we blame life instead.
Stop blaming life and stop letting circumstance win.
Take note of the blind guitar player
The one arm surfer, the wheelchair Olympian
And pursue your dreams even when
Circumstance tells you no!

I PURSUE MY BLESSINGS
On this voyage that I travel, I seek.
Treasure is to be found by me.
Many miles away I must go
to fulfill my soul.
This journey I have chosen will end soon.
I will treasure the memory the knowledge found.
Many miles away I must go
to fulfill souls.
I am not tripping because I am expeditious.
The crossing I chance is for riches.
Many miles away I must go
ambiance call.
I have trek in South Africa.
I roamed in the West Indies, etc...
Many miles away I must go
to prefect.
I wandered far and wide.
I found a life fortified.
To flaunt the blessings I have found.
Equipped to conquer more, I am satisfied, thus far.
Many miles away I ponder.
My rewards are humongous.
The world knows.
Wealth is shown.
Many miles away I treasure hunt.
A job well done!

Dreams are the essence of life
Life is void without dreams
Whatever life throws at you
Pursue your dreams with determination
Hold onto your dreams with ruthless tenacity
Hold onto your dreams no matter the challenges
Cause the road to success is not paved with gold
It is strewn with thorns and distractions
Overcoming challenges gives dreams their meaning
Happiness is an illusion
It can only become a reality
As you put your hands on the plough
And pursue your dreams without looking back

Here begins a new life
void of trouble and strife
a new beginning, reborn
happy, no longer forlorn
What was, is the past
what will yet be, vast
hopes and dreams survive
what matters is you're alive
There is plan and purpose
more exists than the surface
beyond what your eye can see
a world of hope for you to flee
Hope is that four letter word
where pain can sometimes be cured
even if only as a temporary escape
normalcy may yet again take shape
You have the willpower to create change
but first remove yourself from all that's strange
in the end, if to truth you will readily submit
know, to follow truth, your heart will commit
Train yourself to become diligent in your pursuit
to everything that is evil, make yourself as a mute
when you find the truth, it will be what day is to night
from this point on, your worries and fears will take flight
Faith strengthens you, allowing you even in darkness to grow near
with it you won’t give up, successfully you will conquer your fear
first be prepared, what you believe in you must be willing to fight
trust in this battle you wage, and victory will surely be in sight

A hankering for a well-of life,
Reminds me to focus on my dreams.
And assiduous itself, is my caliber -
That relies its origin from dedication;
Because nothing rules my mind, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.
Being intense about a well-to-do lifestyle,
Enthuses me to ponder on my goals.
And industrious is what reveals my progress and productivity;
Which is brought by tireless all day long day!
Because nothing encourages me, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.
Being ardent about that moneyed life!
Engenders me to contemplate on my professions.
And hardworking itself, is my best friend;
That keeps me me unremitting and single-minded.
Because nothing lies deep in my heart, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.

I hope and wish;
For her to turn back,
Not that I wouldn't run;
After her,
In a rush;
Into this,
Beckoning;
Like a fool,
Lose my cool;
But I'm afraid,
To break through;
And find myself,
Smiling back;
Reflection,
Closer than;
It appeared,
Through the rain;
Under sun,
No storm;
Or thunder,
Will stop;
Me; I will pursue...

the pursuit of truth
ultimate truth
frees one from every bond
from every vice
is total freedom

The storm becomes darker roaring like a lion,
Freezing the pieces that are left behind this broken heart,
Times up…
What we once knew isn't clear anymore,
Once lovers are now zombies chasing us in this apocalypse I call life,
Our haters that bully us become our worst nightmares,
But yet they give us fuel to keep going, not giving up half way there,
Stay strong, young one,
By the way is ok to be alone with no one by your side,
I stay away far away from everyone, for I do not trust society,
Not even my own shadow do I stand close to…
Among us are crowds of strangers,
Some happy...some down...
Others fuming in a terrorizing sound
And as I am surrounded,
Though I am positively crowded,
I am so desperately alone here
As if these strangers never existed..
As if existence itself is merely a dream,
A sleeping dragon's never-waking nightmare,
Withholding wisdom that a mere figment of the imagination
Could never DREAM to attain
Locked in this chamber of disdain
Oh how long have I waited
For some seaside rain
For the antidote that will heal all of these infected
To find true love resurrected
Don't be ashamed of this hope that clings on
Do not be torn by the majority that say you are wrong...
For within the depths of hate and darkness,
An indestructible strength will emerge
Immune from life's sickly, demented surge
A unique blood running through the body and soul
Creating in you depth, endurance...and control
Your heart will glisten in the tears all around
Because no matter what happens, you will always be moved
You will NEVER become a heart of stone
But a martyr fighting for what's right
In the hope that someday
Darkness will meet light
In a balance that will only generate
Smiles...and bountiful laughter
The storms will roar on in pursuit of our souls...
But their blows are so far behind us as we soar
Into an endless ocean-shimmering sky
Only love will drive us—and the rest that binds us—
Say goodbye

Chase dreams maintaining
The reality present
Avoiding subterfuges
That compromise your
Integrity or values
Walking with your head held high

Pursuing
(Verse 1)
I've been running
Running to you
But was I really running
To someone who didn't want to pursue
You said you liked me
You said you cared
But in my darkest hours
You were never there
You just said what I wanted to hear
That's not what I need
I need someone who loves me for me
Tell me what's a girl to do
When she is rushing to be pursued
(Chorus)
Take your time, just wait
You don't want to make a mistake(mistake)
Being with someone just because
That's not what you've dreamed of
Its OK to be you
But no matter what you do (you do)
Don't just rush to be pursued
(Verse 2)
What's the definition of a mate
They help you balance your plate
They add that charm
To your day
A bright smile you'll display
Picking out the small things
What a joy it brings
To know that you, have something so pure and true
Its your time , you've waited
Got swept off your feet its an understatement
The feeling you feel makes you
Know how it feels to be pursued
Chorus)
Take your time, just wait
You don't want to make a mistake(mistake)
Being with someone just because
That's not what you've dreamed of
Its OK to be you
But no matter what you do (you do)
Don't just rush to be pursued
(Hook)
Its OK, to have feelings
Let it be with someone
Who wants more than just dealings
Its OK , to have feelings
Let it be with someone
Who wants more than just dealings
Chorus)
Take your time, just wait
You don't want to make a mistake(mistake)
Being with someone just because
That's not what you've dreamed of
Its OK to be you
But no matter what you do (you do)
Don't just rush to be pursued
Repeat until chorus fades

Lyric
What's the values of life
What's a successful life
No definition indeed
One man's meat may be another man's poison
Let the happiness decides
Man should pursue happiness
Without hurting others
Or offending the law
Let's follow one's conscience
Let's follow the teachings of God
Life is full of meanings and pursuits
Richess, love, health, fame or contribution
May be one of the road to
The tower of happiness
And so a successful life
But it can be either temporary or everlasting
And it all depends on your fate or sincerity

It's the desire to do better with a fresh lead
and with success on mind, not thinking of failure:
I find that doorway to escape and dream,
but remaining anonymous is no adventure.
Without impromptu or consciousness,
I wake up to a sunrise which coruscates...
becoming brighter by blinding my sight,
then I become beauty-incarnate and sigh.
Laying down with the head up on the fresh grass,
I accept another challenge to pursue life and fate...
not seeking a gloomy, clandestine place to face
ignoble fear in a cosmos which was created to elate.
Follow me and experience what makes me wake up and be as happy as a cuckoo,
touch the fragile corolla of daisies and inhale their aroma as dreamers tend to do,
and looking straight up, observe the awesome Universe so vast, beautiful and blue...
won't you take another challenge to pursue life and fate without clashing with a clue?

Purple people eaters pursuing purple peas,
Paraphernalia progressing toward a purple please,
Amethyst bedding, purple clothes, and platform shoes,
Purple violets promoting purple woodland hues,
Purple is out there in polka dots and stripes,
Chomping on some boxers, and purple baby wipes.
Amethyst pins, on purple fuzzy faux fur coats,
Purple veins, popping out of purple nanny goats.
Purple delights me, makes me feel beautified.
Purple sports coats, on pretty people, side by side.
Purple Rain, Prince’s progressive popular song,
Purple kitchen, where I am dancing in my thong.
Purple on my headboard, purple on my wall.
Amethyst in my dream world, twirling in a ball.
Purple squares and flashlights, a pure and simple joy.
Purple in a sailor suit, yelling out, “Ahoy!”
When is national purple day? It makes my world go round.
Where are the purple people? They would be my favorite upside down.
