Dreams

Some people spend their entire lives chasing their dreams.
While other people spend their entire lives waiting for their dreams to fall into their lap.

Some people are afraid to fail,
while others are afraid to succeed.

Some people bleed and sweat for their dreams,
while others have long forgotten what it feels like.

"Is there anything more depressing than to see a dream die?"

Some people have the luxuary to dream,
while others can't afford to.

Some people can dream with their eyes wide open,
beacuse they know that dreams aren't meant for bed.

Some people force their unfinished dreams onto others,
and those dreams turn into burdens.

Some people juggle too many dreams at once and fail to achieve even one.

Some people have dreams without destinations and loose their way.

Some people compremise,
while others aren't willing to sacrifice.

But the greatest obsticle preventing you from achieving your dream is you.

Wow! This made me actually think. I gave up on my dreams because I thought they were unacheivable so your poem really hit home. Nice.

I'm glad you can relate, and sorry to hear about your dreams.

True. We thought of and blame something or someone who barricades us from achieving our dreams but really it is only ourselves. This poem has a good message. :)
