Give Your Dreams A ShotA Poem by LanaGive your dreams a shot Pour yourself some liquid courage And tumble down drunk On the red carpet stairs of Cannes Give it a shot And raise your glass To failures and the collapse Of a dream unlived But to a courage unmatched Allowing the foundation of your house To stay intact And for that you are worth a thousand shots Poured by your gut Until you get so drunk You start to see flashes The camera's long wide shots Of you looking up to the sky Was published on The New York Times The headline read "If only you knew You were made of the same star dust And the gleaming stars in the heavens Are flashing for you to raise your glass" To the dreams unlived And the realities the future You will catch If only you just Give your dreams a shot
