I've never had a dream,
Something I could hope to achieve,
Because, for the longest time,
I always thought I
Would be the death of me.I always thought that I would leave
This earth in a hearse of
Purest black, but,
I've finally found what inspires me.
I know what I want to do.Dreams - for so long
They seemed to elude me,
Never igniting the passion
I so desperately needed,
But now I'm whole, and
I know what I want to do.I have been given purpose,
Something that I never knew before,
And now I know that there is
A light in this great darkness.
For the longest time I stood
Screaming into an infinite void
Of nothingness, but now
My mind is clear.There are many obstacles that
Stand in the way of my dreams,
But I know that, in due time,
I will over come them, and be
Reborn as someone worthy
Of this life I'm living.At the end of this long road,
I know that I will find
The happiness I seek,
And I will become content
With who I am.
There are many obstacles
Standing in my way, but
I know that I can overcome
Them with hard work and determination.I will let nothing stand in my way,
I will let nothing hold me back,
Even if it takes an eternity,
I will keep on fighting to achieve my dreams.
They may be several horizons away,
But I will never let myself waver again.I will no longer tell myself
That things only get worse from here,
That I'm not good enough for anything.
My life has only just begun,
And I plan on letting nothing hold me back.This grand dream of mine
Is all that keeps me going, and
I swear that I will make it a reality
Before the sands of time run out.
