Follow Your Dreams

Follow Your Dreams

A Poem by C.O.B
"

This is my first attempt at free verse so apologies in advance. Also, Line 15 is based off a quote from Tony Gaskins.

"

“Follow your dreams” is what they exclaim,
But do you ever stop and think what that means?
“Follow your Dreams”, why must we follow them, when they are ours?
Why can they not be at our side, prepared for us?
Then we would just ‘take’ our dreams…
Wouldn't that be just lovely,
But we can’t, because our dreams are running away from us.
They are running as fast as they can.
We are all lions chasing after gazelles,
And we must be the victor,
We must run the hardest, chase like we have never chased before,
Because those dreams are slippery b******s.
They don’t want you, just like every girl I've met,
But you got to keep chasing until they are yours.
You either achieve your dreams or spend your life helping someone achieve theirs.
We become a chasm of questions instead of a mountain of yes.
You become the main character of the video game of life,
Instead of an A.I that we grind for EXP.
Wake up every morning and see that sun of dreams,
And don’t let it be covered by clouds of doubt.
Let every day be a sunny day
And show the world what you can do,
Because others may be better at one thing or another,
but what they are not better at, is being you.
