My dreams have been halted. My dreams have been crushed. With the overbearing negativity of the world on my shoulders, I ask, “How can I achieve?” I wonder, “Can I?” Well my answer is why not? Because my dream seems too grand, I have been told it cannot be done. You say it happens to the lucky few, but my view is too large to let that stop me. I suppose that if you believe, you are sure to achieve. I cannot empathize with you. I will not be held back by you. My dream is far too important; it’s my meticulous plan. My life will remain unsullied. You cannot drag me under. I declare that my dream is free from you; because I am a dreamer.
