I've always been a dreamer
Lost in my own world
One I've created in my mind
The one I've always wanted to make a reality
Though it seems with every passing day I only drift further away from my dream
I find myself distracted by the unnecessary
I fall into the lifestyles of others
Losing my focus of what I want
I promise myself I'll get on track
Another broken promise filled with empty words
I am once again a disappointment to myself
Discouraged I falter and remain where I've always been
Frustrated with my lack of will I get nowhere
So I sleep more, eat more and dwell in self-pity
My dream seems so far away
My mind conjures unwanted thoughts
The images haunt me
I look for distractions but only fall further off my course
Days turn into weeks, weeks into month and soon a year as past
Still, I'm where I've always been
How do I break this cycle?
How do I move forward?
Contemplating I surrender
I've given up
No, I won't stop here
I pick myself up once more and focus on my dream
It is all I wish to see
So I take the first step to get where I want to be
The first step is always the hardest I've been told but, I will fight through
Eventually I'll make my dream a reality
I will no longer be a disappointment
Not to myself, not to anyone
This is a promise I will not break
I will achieve my goals and be a success
I will thrive
I will live my dream
