Optimism

Do dreams come true?

Don't say no

You're destroying them yourself by saying that.

Just believe

with all your heart

and then say YES.

Are fairy tales only tales?

Don't say yes

You're negating their possibility of existence by calling them tales

Just rephrase

as memories close to your heart

and then say NO.

Author's Note

Don't you think we ignore the occurrence of some really amazing times spent with the ones close to us and look out for some fairy tale miracle?
Look around, you'll find magic all around you.

This is pretty magical. It flows so beautifully and the content really made me think, do I hope and dream as much as I could? Do I believe that my dreams are worthwhile? The answer I guess is no... which means I need to believe in myself more. Thanks for this thought-provoking piece. Great job!

If what I wrote put you into thought, that’s a win right there.Because that’s the whole point about whatever I write.Make people think or rethink their perspective of life.Thankyou so much!It means a lot :)

This is the essence of hope and human existence. So much in life starts with a dream or hope, and we also miss so much in life because we often dismiss them before even trying. Nice work, Kiara.

Dreams are what we make of them. The magic in this world lives within us and the moment we separate ourselves from it to try and understand it, it puffs into smoke and blows away. I like how you place the magic right where it belongs, in the eye of the beholder. Our dreams, if nurtured and pursued earnestly, can always come true. I really love this one. Simple and thought provoking.

I love the subtle duality of you present here. Very nicely done! I'm debating whether that third line in Stanza 2 is too wordy. Every time I read it, it's either too wordy or it works, so I'm just going to put that out there for mere consideration. This is otherwise fantastic, and you did a marvellous job. Honestly, well done! It was a joy to read

[Kiara]

Thankyou :)
And about that line, I had to pretty much convince myself that it doesn’t sound as bad !

[emipoemi]

It's not that it sounds bad.....it's just seems too wordy. All it would need is a trim.

[emipoemi]

Perhaps: "You're negating their likely existence....." That would sound much better, musicality-wise.

maybe they do,dreams and fairy tales,wouldn`t it be wonderful

[Kiara]

For me it’s not a maybe.They definitely do!The world is not that bad a place to live in.It actually is wonderful!

miracles happen everyday ,and i guess we can have a great life if we decide to

[Jacob Clifford]

Very poignant message. Simply being willing to believe in something can make it happen. Negativity closes doors. It's a shame to think of all the people who aren't happy with their lives and who won't better themselves just because they aren't willing to give something a chance.

[Kiara]

That is so true!All that there is to give is one honest attempt.
