Dreamer

I don't believe greatness is achieved by realistic people, sane people who adhere to limits. I think they are achieved by dreamers. Because without being a dreamer, you cannot survive life's failures and hard realities. Only a dreamer can ignore all the signs that the world generously dishes out to you and attempt what others may not comprehend. Many times, the world is harsh and discouraging and without your dreams to get wrapped up in, you will be lost in the world and its burdens will bog you down. Yes, I'm a dreamer, but its the only way to keep my sanity and survive what this world has to offer.

Dreamer

I have sat here, racking my brain
trying to understand this perpetual rain
and all the things in which I strain
and I have tried hard to refrain
from thinking I cannot take the pain

I have been a hopeless fanatic
in faith that works like magic
For it is the only way not to panic
that my life will turn tragic
as I listen to life's clock tick

I have lay here and been the spinner
Of my dreams as daylight grows dimmer
and related to words of any cooing singer
I see me talking as one of life's winners
I believe in all this for I am a dreamer
