They deceive us
When they say
"Hold onto your dreams,
Never let them go."
Because they never
Tell us what to do
When you dream
An Impossible Dream.
Such a dream
Can never occur,
Not because you lack the ability,
But because it would defy reality.
Some can learn to let go
Of such dreams.
Yet the cursed who cannot
Live tortured lives of unfulfillment.
So tell me now,
You elderly, supposedly wise:
What am I to do
With my Impossible Dream?
It's almost funny how many people see this poem, then tell me to still not give up.
