My hope is held in your palm,
Please don't crush it... Or do it harm.
Just keep it safe until it fizzles out,
When its dashed with responsibility and self doubt.
Believe in yourself, and I'll believe in you.
Hold my hope because your sorrow won't do.
Care for it, just let it grow.
Greatness can be yours... If you let it be so.

~ABC's if Poetry~ Dreams our sincerest kept secrets Our hearts desires that burn like raging fires. Things that we can't or won't say aloud in our dreams run free and are allowed.
'You will not break. You will not break. You will not cry. You will not cry. You will smile. You will smile. You will laugh. You will laugh. You will not fall. You will not fall. You will not give up.
Who are you to say what I can and can't do. Who are you to predict my future. Who are you to rule over me. Who are you to tell me I will die. Who are you to tell me how to live my life.
I've seen the following quote in a lot of places and, over the years, I've grown to love it ... So it inspired me to write a poem (which is after the quote) ...
You only live once. You gotta make the best of it. You play the hand your dealt. You gotta take the rest of it. I'm living out my dreams. But I never go to bed for it. You gotta see the prize.
Why cry when you can laugh. Why shout when you can sing. Why hate when you can love. Why be bitter if there's joy to bring. Why not give if you can take. Why not shine if your a star.
