I have a dream.

One day, I'll be an astronaut
When I grow up, I'll be famous
I'm going to be an Einstein

Then, Life slaps me down.

I'm called stupid
Everyday, I end up beaten
I'm "slower" than the rest of class

It happens too often.

He's to weak
She'll never understand it
They couldn't afford it

But we can't stop it.

All we can do, is try
Try to fight our imperfections
Try to overcome the odds

I had a dream.

Then life said "no"
So I screamed, YES!
And so it began

A war of rights.

I lost and I won
But nomatter what
I battled on

Over that war I found peace.

My dreams changed
New challenges arised
New answers were found

And a lesson was learned.

You will face problems,
But they can only strengthen you.

You're once broken dreams,
Will be crafted into weapons.

And through all the "life",
You'll learn to live.
