lies may make a few things easier but once you do it to the wrong person it makes thing so much harder.


Sometimes I drown in my dreams,
Like the rain as it hits the ground;
But like the sun began to shine.
I know that one day something will arrive,
So that I will have it my way.
I will keep it and hold it like a baby;
But soon I see like me... My dreams will grow.
I have a lot of opportunities but soon,
I will recognize which one I’m here for.
One day it’ll be my turn.

I have to Keep listening I can’t ignore it.
Without the word I can’t go.
I got to be ready because time won’t be waiting,
To get from the ground with hard work, and climb
To the peak of the mountain, with the pond of dreams.
So, I got to keep pushing myself;
Because I need the strength to…
Stay off the edge of the cliff called failure.
Because motivation is the word for me,
Because without it – I would fall off?


The author's comments:
I have a lot of dreams and thing I would love to do. I think a lot about what I want to be when I grow up. I don't just have dreams they're goals that I have to reach.So this poem reads that it wont be easy to accomplish my goals but I must keep pushing my self to to get it. Motivation... that's the word for this poem.
