Is It Wrong to Dream?
I'm trying to pour my heart out
shaping my emotions into words,
words that will barely even compare to the vast void of space in my heart
success, my aspiration, but I hear those voices in my head,
the ones who remind me everyday that I come from nothing
And I will always be a nothing
useless, pathetic, your efforts are worthless
why try your best when your own family will not support you
why have dreams if they will always be broken
why, why, why...
Is it so wrong to dream?
I know I have no money, my possibilities and hopes reduced to nothing
yet I dream,
and those dreams hold me up
constantly, I tell myself to keep up with my hard work
how could I blame others when I fail,
if the only person to blame would be me
I choose my own path
I can be whatever I want to be
I will dream even if my dreams are already dead
as long as that spark of determination is alive within me
there will be nothing in my way,
nothing controlling who I want to be
