Don't Fall

Dream Big
Aim high
Touch the great blue sky
Don't ever look back
But don't say why

Be the best
But don't be proud
They told him strong
As they knocked him down

Expectations soared
He began to roar
Expectations tore
What were they for?

He reached for glory
No one told his story
They turned their back
He fell off his track

Accept me please
He begs and pleas
They laugh so loud
As he touched the ground

A college degree
Is a friend indeed
It isn't enough
Even though it's rough

A tender hand now reaches down
Their fingers meet
He no longer frowns

My name's defeat
His voice is low

My name is love
Her face does glow

His shackles fall
His elders fade
They are left to face their own earth grave

He'll fly on wings
And touch the sky
Not one could say he never tried

He'll live with love
And eyes cast high
He'll dream so big
Till his life is nigh

He'll remember firm what his elders said
Dream big
Aim high
Touch the great blue sky


A/N This one feels a bit off... But I don't know. It's a lot different from the last one, but I guess that's the nice thing about poetry right? Lol. Hope you at least enjoyed it for about ten seconds. Ttys. ;)
