Dream Killers

They are not the ones

the ones who tell you,

“Yes, you can!”

You believe in dreams.

They are not the ones.

The ones who cry,

“You can’t do it!”

You dream despite,

“Yes, I can.”

They are not the ones.

They share with you

dreams of their own.

It makes you want

some of your own.

They are not the ones,

the ones who show failures

before success.

You never stop

dreaming.

They are not the ones.

The ones who inspire,

you dream of being

being like them.

Some gave up,

Some stopped believing

Some scoffed at dreams

Some never dreamt,

and some who did

threw them back to the moon.

Some criticized

self and others.

Some got licked

Some gave up.

Some discouraged,

Some chose not to inspire.

You saw them,

believed in them,

and

when

you

joined

them,

you

became

your

personal

dream

killer.
