I reached for the skies

Grabbed my own star

Wanted to make it mine

But it was too far away

What does the journey take

What does adventure seek

What do I need

To reach the other side of the rainbow

My own dreams

My own goals

My own journeys

The greatest that the world has ever known

The moon will dance

The stars will sing

The trees will whisper my name

And the sun will give me praise

All that I need

Is that first step

A smile on my face

Ready to brave the world

What will it take

What will I seek

That great pot of gold

Filled with the riches of this world

The glory and the fame

The accomplishments I've made

I'll keep going back

Back to the end of the rainbow

To fly

To cry

To reach the top

Of the highest mountain

The journey's mine

I will make it mine

Watch me fly

And make the it mine

I'll reach for the skies

Find my own star

I'll make it mine

The brightest the world has ever known

And you'll be there

Right at my side

Prepared to fight

Prepared to find

You'll take my hand

And I'll take yours

We'll brave the world

Let's brave the world

Life will be our rainbow

The journey ours

You my pot of gold

And I yours

This is our journey

These are our trials

We'll be the greatest

The greatest the world has ever known

We'll grab our stars

Hand in hand

We'll light em' up

And watch em' dance

Oh but that's only the beginning

There's so much more

We'll do it all

All the world has ever known

From the highest of mountains

To the deepest of seas

We'll do all it takes

To make this world our own

To master this world

To make it our own

To finally reach the sky

This world we'll defy

Our own strengths

Our own weaknesses

Our own voice

No one will ignore

Yes

That's the journey

The long one

The one called Life

We live and die

But with a dream

We live to live on

In the hearts of those who proceed

The story behind this :

I guess the theme was more or less IDENTITY. 

I guess, I was staring up at the roof, wondering about stars. And, at first, it was going to be a personal song. But I decided on poetry. I just wanted to have one thing that belonged to me. MINE. And I realized that this is my life. The only thing in this world that truly belongs to me is me, so I should've taken charge and make myself my own.

Your own self, doesn't that sound great?

Then I realized that I wanted to share my self, not exactly show it off, but that I've made this awesome person, now what? What if, someone else became a part of this awesomeness?

Someone who wants to be their own self with you and be part of your awesomeness.

But then what? What else? Well, you pass on your awesomeness to someone else and start a chain of greatness.

  And that's what made this poem.
