Best Poems Written by Michael R

Break Free

Why does it seem everyone dreams so big and never acts? 
Just talking while no one cares to listen.
Talking about the lavish life of the rich and famous,
Wishing they could live life like that.
Why is it that all people not on top only wish?

Where does wishing get you besides being stuck in a hopeless,
Depressing and non fulfilling state of mind.
People have said that we are defined by our actions in this life,
So do something.

Don't just sit and ponder how a successful life could be enjoyed.
Set your goal and stop at nothing until every resource,
all possible avenues, and every attempt has been exhausted.

You WILL fail; you WILL want to quit,
And for most, one failure places them back into the bleak continuum
Of dreaming the impossible; defeated.

For those that achieve their dreams, failure is anticipated
And met with joy because to those individuals,
Failure opens up the right path towards success.

Dream big and work towards that utopia.
Embrace all the negativity to the top.

For reaching the end brings with it the best of both worlds;
Being able to reflect upon the reality of your past dreams
While knowing that what started as a wishful thought
was transformed into your tangible success.
