Chasing

Something about a dream...

Chasing

By Sloan Chambers

I keep on chasing this dream that seems to be just out of reach

I try to grab it; try to hold onto it 

Falling in the meantime

Failing at everything I do

You tend not to follow me, because you could never keep up

If you try to keep up, you will not, no one can match my pace

I skip steps on the stairs of explanation

I miss notes in the song of life

I tend to get splinters of lust and desire

A tone deaf friend of disaster

But I like who I am

If you don't that's because 

You are too busy chasing me while you need to focus on yourself

Its none of your business

So stop chasing my dreams if you plan to crush them

Go make them for yourself

And chase those.

Author's Note

This poem displays how I feel, but it's off the top of my head, so it must not be that good.

i love it!

Yes your words are true. Allow the people with dreams to go forward and find your own path. Some common sense wisdom in your words. Some folks like to hang on to the dreamers because they can find their own road of life to be on. A outstanding poem.
