American Dream

Hitting a brick and cannot find my way.
Financial issues is hitting a dead end.
Teased to point that nothing in life matters.
On the brick of light of life.

Where is my American Dream?
Lost? Found? or Neither?

Climbing over the mountains of lies.
Taking the hard route to a life of happiness. 
Family overcoming through hardships.
Found the light to keep going

Is this my Dream?

Strong, Confident, and Not letting my guard down.
This road full of tacks, rocks, and curve balls.
Was able to Reach for the stars,
Never giving up.

This is my American Dream!

I hope I will still be cheerful and strong.
I hope the road can still be rocky, but fun.
I hope that ten years down the line, I can still say that I am happy about who I am.
I hope the faded memories will last forever.
