Go For Your Dreams

Go for your passion. Reach for your dreams.

I am but now a young adult
And may you please consider these
I don't want for an applause
Or recognition to be pleased

I am here at this stage
I'm at the middle of my life
So I just wish my future days
Won't be that sad nor full of strife

The only thing that could help me
Keep away from all the pressures
Is this feeling that I am free-
Freedom in words and in gestures

Have you considered to speak your mind
To tell those things you really feel?
Or you just sit down in one corner
Then cry alone, nothing could heal?

Oh youth, please do remember these
The only thing I could tell you
You have this big chance to be happy
There are much things that you can do

Hands that are skilled in making things
They almost beg, please hear their call
The crafts that only you could make
Now is the time to show them all

Your words that long hidden inside
Could be the best song or story
Or they could be the finest poem
Let them be heard, let the world see

If you can paint, just paint them all
If you can sing, just sing it out
If you can write, just write the words
No matter what, feel free to shout

Life is too short to kill yourself
By doing things you do not want
Or just to grow old with much regrets
That in the end you'll make a rant

Always remember that time's a gem
You should not waste, you should not stop
While still young, go for your dreams
Express yourselves and reach the top!

Author's Note

To the young artists:
Go for your passion. Go for your dreams.
Don't waste your time. Be free. Express yourselves. Express your creativity. There is art in everything. There is an artist inside of everyone of us.

A poem with a great message. I would say that the most important thing in life is to do what you feel happy doing. And if what you love doing is also what you do for a living than you are in a very lucky, very blessed but very small minority. I hope it is never too late. Very eloquently said Dhaye.

Thank you for the kind words, Divya.

I know as I got older I realized that truly be free and happy was not caring what others think of you… do what makes you happy the ones that matter will love you for who you are… I love the positive and sound a dive you put forth in this poem.

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Sir!

This is such an encouraging piece, it inspires anyone to just follow your dreams or just do what your heart desires to creative and be creative.... as an artist, because like you said, there is an artist inside each one of us... or we are an artist of our own right or our own kind... great work pretty friend...

"Have you considered to speak your mind
To tell those things you really feel?
Or you just sit down in one corner
Then cry alone, nothing could heal?" - I love this stanza. It really speaks to me. Great poem and a great message here, Dhaye! You've outdone yourself! :)

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Michael.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

This is well done. You put it together with much thought and skill. It makes a reader think, which is what all poetry should do. I enjoy this clean and easy flow.

[Dhaye]

Thanks so much, Anika.

' You gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative an' latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In Between

You gotta spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
An' have faith, amen, or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene, amen '
