a simple dream

The truth of me lies within my dream, my dream that drives me to new heights.

My dream that has shaped my life and made me who I am today.

My impossibly mad dream that I won’t live to see.
it's a star in the night sky to reach for, it is hope for me when I have none.

And I know my dream will not keep me warm at night, nor will it feed me when I’m hungry, and it cannot shield me from the elements.

But it does give me the will to push forward no matter what, the will to fight and live through all adversity.
To continue at all cost and do what must be done.
That is the truth of me, the truth of a simple man living life by a mad dream, and I couldn’t change even if I wanted too.

This is who I was born to be who ill
always be: me

Consider breaking this apart into stanzas. It feels like it could use pauses from time to time (you also seem to have mispelled warm as worm). Other than that this was a really quite good poem. I really liked the lines about what a dream can and can not do.

I've been rewriting this again and again but I didn't thank of breaking it into stanzas. Also thanks for catching that mistake I didn't edit after my last rewrite.

I liked it considering the irony that dreams are never simple
