"Awake"

Dancing poem.

I failed countless times, yes! Not just once
I'm praying "Dear myself, please give me another chance.".

When I was young, I want to play a lot,
Parents gave me everything i want,
Not interested to learn this and that,
All i want is to be with my friends to play and chat.

When i got bigger and body is a little stronger,
I have a lot of friends to share things,
I want to do what i want, a trouble maker,
They asked me 'bout my dreams, but i only want to be a singer.

Time and years have passed,
My life from "rainbow" turned "black and white",
Everybody's gone, i'm feeling blue,
I'm a late bloomer, tell me how to get those butterfly back in my garden even just a clue.

Little by little, i'm sadly accepting the truth,
And little by little my feet can't feel the ground,
Is this the reality of youth?
Everytime i sing nobody wants to hear my sound.

Dreams starting to fade
My hope staring to fade
God, hear me and teach me to strengthen my faith
I really cant stand and accept this fate.

My mind wants to give up
But i see my body wants to continue
I have my mind and heart against to every words and actions i made
I want to change myself and my life but i can't.

I burned all things to forget the past,
I want to start a new life
I promise i'll be stronger than before
I'll be wiser and kind than i was before.

I saw my childhood photo
It's reminded me how lucky i was, so
"I'd rather bend than break" that's my new motto.

I have to look back, and face the world
I have my trust in myself, thats my sword

Now, to this ruinous life's game, i will stand and ready to escape this door.

I have to stand up
I have to cry
Now i can cheer myself up
Watering this path of mine thats dry.

I will never be scared to try
To failed again and die

Within me, is a true and beautiful smile
I am the strongest weak, i wont deny.

To every life's challenges
I will only stand and smile
Thats my strongest defense
I just have to use my sense

I'm awake! I'm awake.
Nobody can steal the lessons ive learned
I'm awake! Hey! I'm awake!
Yes! Spread my wings and dreams are ready to take.

I know i will failed again countless times, not just once.
But still praying "Dear myself, please give me another chance.".

I like the way you've expressed this feeling that we all have, remembering childhood's innocent days as now compared to the raw reality of being grown and adult with responsibilities. But at the same time you also express optimism and hope for your life and the general future.
And, to me, the following line sums it up:
'Nobody can steal the lessons I've learned'.

GOOD POEM!!
WELL DONE!!
