The Fool

They call me a dreamer
for they cannot see my determination
as soon as I speak they differ
the normal people with lack of ambition
Am I not the one in charge of my life?
then let me be the one I want to be
it doesn't matter if my goals are rife
after all, my life is still on me.

They say I'm the fool
they claim to be so clever
with their mouths full of stool
do you think they'll reach their dreams ever?

Ignore bad grammar, if any.

sometime you need to use the "real" word and not the politically correct version. "Stool"?? who chews on a chair's leg? - chuckling here - was it chrome? a wooden or vinyl seat? - surely not leather?

Hmmm?

suffice to say it is of organic origin

It's true. Us passionate people are taken as fools. We have dreams that others don't. This has such a great meaning to it. If only those others could understand...

I absolutely love "with heir mouth full of stool" nice way to word that! Great poem!

Another nice poem , I find it specially so because I am currently in this situation and I know exactly how it feels . The only change if any that I can say is for the line '..with their mouths full of stool..',it sound a bit odd , may be it can changed to '..they think they are so cool..' or something like that , but then again you are absolutely right , people do talk a lot of s**t , so from that point of view no modification is required as that would tamper the feelings expressed in the poem .

I loved this! It sounds a little sarcastic yet so full of a deeper meaning~ you speak of pursuing your life as you please and fulfill it as you will, because IT IS your's and no one else's to judge~ wonderful write~ =) 110 if I could~

I enjoyed this piece, there is a stifling we experience in this society and it is that of our dreams. I wish people would persue and do more of what they love, kindness would be a result and kindness always goes a long way. You have profound thoughts.

This is a great pieces. The rhyming is a bit off with "ambition" and "determination" but aside from this it is exceptional.

Its hard to be a chaser of dreams, optimisim is not a quality that is smiled upon in todays socieity and it makes me sad.

I am a dreamer, but i have the power to make those dreams reality and i work every day to do so. Its a struggle but its well worth it. I am unique, I am my own person, and so are you, and it is good to see someone standing up in defence of this right and proudly saying "I am ME, and you will not change ME" instead of cowering and conforming.

Kudos, great write

People are quick to judge, especially if they see something amiss. But what is amiss; if we all look and see things differently? A handful of dreams in the palm of one's hand may seem not much but dirt to another. ... Only we can ascertain the value of our own dreams.

Truly the fool who wastes his time with other's dreams, neglecting his own.
