I am reminded once again
Why all my dreams are hid away;
Because the petty race of men
Will not approve a word I say!
I dare to dream. Is this a crime?
If no one dreamed, where would we be?
For even since the start of time
Mere dreams have birthed reality!
"You won't achieve those goals. Don't try."
How will I know unless I do?
It could be once, you could not fly,
But I am not the same as you.
I dare to dream, but dare not share
My dreams of what I will achieve,
For others only laugh and stare
And mock me for they don't believe.
My dreams will be. You'll see. You'll see.
Your fate is not my destiny!
And all my goals will be. Will be.
Perhaps you'll muse then, "foolish me."
Please tell me what you think

Oh this is a wonderful poem. Yes, please do dream for in dreams and thoughts come such wonderfully written words. I love this one. It is very well written. And the thoughts behind it make me full of hope that the younger generation can and do still dream of a future. Thanks for sharing this!

Great job and good luck!

dreams can be like goals, if we don't know where we want to be then how do we know where to go?
I like this, I too hate to share my dreams, it seems if I do someone wants to try to stop them.
You keep dreaming and keep reaching to fulfill those dreams, if we don't then we stand still. and if we stand still then we fail.

well written..enjoyed it

WOW!!
I love the rhyme and rhythm, it carries me from start to finish seamlessly, taking me from one stanza to the next without pause. There are so many things that I like about this poem it would be difficult to list them all, but I would have to say that the last stanza is my favorite; the way you use the repetition to emphasize your message and the way you turn it around on the people who would doubt you in the last line. A very good poem all around. I look forward to reading more of your work.

aieee...i love this. not only does it flow and rhyme well, it's exactly what i've been thinking for nearly a year. (^^,) no-one except my brother believes that i can become what i want, and it's so discouraging. i can't wait until the day comes that they'll be thinking "ah, foolish me!"

Beautiful; piece, congrats on having it "in the spotlight" on the front page (where I found it.) The rhythm and rhyming were great, and made it easy and pleasant to read through the poem and absorb your message/ Love the repetition of "you'll see" and "will be" to really emphasize the point. One of the most beautiful, well written pieces I have ever read on this site, thank you for sharing it.

Inspiring
This is a very inspirational poem about empowering oneself (or all women?) Very nice rhyming and the enjambments work well with the poem. Make your dreams come true!

This is a brilliantly written piece, which flows so well and has such emotion and passion in it. Loved this.

ah cheri i like your defiant tone! nice diction and good form...always dream, and better still, live each dream to the fullest...anyone who does not encourage such a life is indeed, as you imply "foolish". a most enjoyable poem! peace
-
Killer stuff...you know the confident, "to hell with the world" pieces make me grin. Love the mood here.

-
And that is exactly the mood I am in. You know I have proved so many people wrong time and time again and yet they still will not believe me when I set my mind to something. I wonder if they're blind...
