Wake Up ©
rowancv 10/02/11- 09:34 PMI have all these dreams.. delusions? of these amazing things I could do.
Visualizations, of various potentials which my mind has construed.
But I may never speak with a silver tongue, or be among the dance scene's greatest ones.
The story hidden in my heart may never find it's way to print or screen,
And I'll probably never make the kind of money we had all foreseen.
I'm afraid to stop dreaming- sometimes I feel like it's all that I have,
But the present passes by, with my vain attempts denied.
I need to stop... chasing the praise and approval in man's eyes,
I need to stop... feeding the pride and lusts in my own eyes.
I give up trying to impress you. I give up wanting to be you.
I give up wanting to have what you have, and I re-root my dreams into purity,
To not let having dreams interfere with living the dream,
To redeem a hope that is selfless and guided, to chase and feed only the things that matter.
What am I? A disciple, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a friend.
If the change and impact I end up making is through one soul at a time, so let it be.
Let me do it to the best of my ability, and let me learn as often as I need,
To die to self completely. Acquiesce- to live in love, undefiled, and nothing less.
