It’s not wrong to dream

A future that you can visualize

The more detail you envision

The closer you can realize

It will not be a simple task

It will take consistent work

To manifest a better life

Is not an easy perk

Few will achieve success

Many will simply fail

If we lose our focus and discipline

Then the dream becomes stale

Like anything – if you don’t put in the effort

You may not like the result

If your focus is too narrow and vague

Then it can be only your fault

Along the way

You will face trials and tribulations

You must meet deception and treachery from those you thought you could trust – head on

Without making insinuations

The course of your actions

Are always louder than words

Anything else

Would just be absurd

There will be times

You will need to seek guidance

Go to a well trusted source

Always ask are my values in accordance?

We may box ourselves in with our logic

We wake up years later and realize 

The image in the mirror is not what we thought

This reality check we despise
