Dreams
"Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die,
life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly."
Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go,
life is a barren field frozen with snow.
Even when times are making you low,
follow your dreams and you will always show growth.
Success is a beautiful sight to see
always follow your dreams and this is where you will soon be.
With no true dream comes no self-satisfaction
if you don’t follow your dreams
you will soon question “where’s all of the action?”
with the passion and dedication of following dreams
sooner or later, your life will be that same dream,
just will turn into a beautiful reality.
Instead of sleeping it your living it
Instead of being envious
let others' success push you to achieve more.
You are as good as the 5 people around you
your people can be a burden, or an amazing cast to your life.
They can be an extra rubber band holding you back
from reaching your extreme heights
or lift you up
like parents after hitting a walk off in little league baseball.
What is your legacy?
That is the question that will define your life.
They say a shoe is just a shoe
until someone steps into it.
The question is what will those same shoes look like
at the end of your journey,
following those same dreams
that you may have been dreaming of
Since you were a young kid.
Will your shoes be dirty
with obvious worn down condition
showing the amount of lost hours of sleep
due to the extreme dedication and discipline,
or will they turn around the second they see a puddle?
These are the questions that will define yourself.
your journey to following,
Then one day, fulfilling your dream.

when writing this poem, the first two lines are from a famous poem called "dreams" by Langston Hughes. this poem inspired me to write my own version of the poem, as I agree with a lot of what is said, and want to live life always following dreams. this poem means a lot to me because I think it really gave me the opportunity to express a different perspective of finding success through hard work, while getting the chance to do that through poetry.
