This dream of mine

This dream of mine

A Poem by Áki Petersen

My heart's slowing down
But it's still beatin'
It still beats for you
I can feel it punching in my chest
Trying to get out
Don't know if i should let it
No, i don't think so
I got things to do
Wanna start doing something with my life
Make some money
Take you out
We'll go to one of those fancy restaurants
We'll live the dream baby
Live the dream and everything in it
Good and bad, we'll get through it just you and me
But there's no room in reality for big dreams like ours
You gotta get real
You might live the dream for a while
But you'll live with the fear of waking up too
It's much easier when you got nothing to lose
Then you ain't scared of nothing
Just enough to keep you going
Just keep going, don't stop
Try reaching that dream of yours
Just try
Even if the odds are against you
Just try
You gotta go your own way
I'm no good for you baby
I'm going down
And i don't wanna take you with me
I'm going down
Last drinks are on me
Sun's coming up
I'm tired baby, tired...

I adore the poem. it justifies the meaningful junction of self determination and repetitive will to succeed. A hard trait that you accomplished is good rhythm. Its like your heart beats to the words. Staying the same pace, Resonating with the phrase you just heard. " Just try reaching for your dreams/just try" A good message. However, I am trying to figure out where the romantic heartache splits into a motivation.
Great closing lines. Keep it up.
