Dreams

A poem, a day late, and a contest short

It is often said that obsession

Is a mental disorder

But I say obsession is the order

When it comes to dreams

Ask yourself

How do I never give up

How do I dance

Through the doubt

Can it be as simple

As getting up every morning

As breathing in and out

As holding onto hope

Like it's the edge of a cliff

Here's a piece of wisdom

Dreams are never truly gone

Until you let them go

So, go ahead

Live in your head

Dare to imagine

Greatness comes from

The courage to fail

A hard truth is

Hearts are meant to be smashed

Dreams are meant to be crushed

The bitch of it all

Is picking up the pieces

After they've fallen on the ground

In all honesty

There's something special

About staring life in the eyes

About proclaiming

No matter how many times

You knock me down

I’ll get back up

Truth is not convenient

Dreams are not gifts under a tree

Dreams are mountains to climb

For every step you take forward

There will be a thousand going back

Trust me

Everything will conspire

To keep you from the top

But if you manage to summit

The Everest of your dreams

Then, my friend

You will know how good obsession is
