Everything Against My Dream!

In the Face of Unseen Forces

By The Lonely VoicePublished about a year ago • 1 min read

The more I move forward,

The more I fall back.

Is this the life

You dreamt of when you grew old?

Of course not!

The more I move forward,

The more I fall back.

These obstacles have shattered me—

I’m sad, and so is everyone.

No one to guide me,

Oh, my dear mother,

Your son’s dream drifts farther away,

But he fears no battle.

Oh, my dear God,

I’ve always prayed to you,

Every time I needed help.

If you don’t help me, who will?

The more I move forward,

The more I fall back.

They say,

“You don’t always get what you want.”

But then they also say,

“The more you desire, the universe helps you find it.”

But that’s not my reality,

Oh, unlucky boy!

The more I move forward,

The more I fall back.

Every day I wake with this dream in my head,

It spins endlessly in my mind.

Even if I try to forget, I cannot.

My heart shatters,

When something I was born with

Becomes the greatest barrier to my dream.

The more I move forward,

The more I fall back.

But I’ve made a promise to myself,

No matter how many obstacles arise,

I will achieve it.

The more I move forward,

The more I fall back,

But I will keep moving.
