Life After



Dreams are just dreams.
Reality worn tire;
Dignity near expired.
Emotions drownding at unreachable heights.
To will my spirit;to pick myself up
Off the stone saturated carpet.
To exceed,achieve,believe in;
A peak only sought after.MotIon of hope awake you,
Motivates desire, and then
The end is the beginning.
