Dream

Don't let those choose your dream, you decide what you want to be

You've been taught to follow their rules
As long as you live under their roof
No matter what, they know what's best
They give you that stare
They give you those words
They know what's right as always

When you come of age and begin to think
They put things in your head
They want a "doctor" to cure their illness
They want a "lawyer" to save their sentence
They want a "architect" to build their dream home
What they all have in common is the "money"
The "money" that will not give us happiness

To please your idols you do what they say
Yet you dream to be a "musician"
You dream to be a "writer"
You dream to be a "film director"
You dream to be a "singer"
You dream to be someone else

All those years of wasted time
And all those headaches you have held
You have finally granted their wish
But what of yours?

Don't fall in these same steps
Choose your destiny
And follow your dreams
Don't let those stares, and words get to you

They did their time, now it's yours
Live at your own expectations
And be happy in what you do
That's all that matters
You will see

Very spiritual piece of work. Much appreciated! I always adore such pieces written with the heart. You just boost up the potential of non-motivated people to lit the fire to their inspiration for having the leaf of success in their hands. Enjoyed reading your work!

Even I'm trying to inspire myself to reach my goals. But hey, doesn't hurt to try.
