Pursuing 'Greatness'

Once upon your stumbling feet,
Was somebody with a face of pride.
A story taller than loss and defeat
A tale of weakness taken in one's stride

With a little help from your struggling hands,
The rummaging of a greater maybe, began
Your eyes unafraid of death's demands
Marched your weary heart through, till its best end.

Within its walls was a pounding madness,
The thunderous sound of reckless hope;
It was the surging chance of ultimate greatness,
A chance you feared you could never cope.

But truth is, people will always rain on your parade
Best you know now than later
So don't live life in a charade,
Believe in the greatness that you have yet to offer.

Pursuing 'Greatness' is a tough act to follow
It has to come from self love too.
Rhymes and quotes can be easy to swallow,
But to yourself, you must always remain true.

Don't Exist....live!

#sundayrepost Music is my sustenance the air that I breathe. Dance enchants my heart with the magic that it weaves. Love is the fire in my belly, it's pure and never deceives.

Future

Look forward and, Not back, Make yourself a, New track. To follow through, And be true, Leave out those memories when, You pack. Spread your wings, And fly, In distant, near, Dark sky.

Dreams

Dreams can be good. Dreams can be bad. Dreams can be like nothing. You've ever had. Dreams are meant for everyone. Dreams are meant for me. Dreams can capture everything. That you will want to be.
