Dreams into Reality
A poem about the struggle of fitting into a modern day work mentality
Trying to rip words from my heart,
turning dreams into reality,
forging molten iron into steel,
but there is something missing -
a temperature yet to be reached;
a resolve yet to be tempered
that refuses to grow beyond a mind
drowned in doubt, fear, uncertainty -
distractions as numerous as the popping of sparks
an illness like the rot in a grave -
why can't I be tempered in the waters
of normalcy - the grind mentality -
a goal far more unreachable
than these thoughts of words,
turning dreams into reality.
