No dreams come true on false promises.
We must commit to our dreams,
before even figuring out what’s possible.
Because impossible really isn’t what it sounds like.

Impossible dreams seem like a mirage at first.
Walking towards them ever quicker,
feeling that resentment as we see it flicker
And dissolve before our eyes.

But all dreams are not seen,
Not heard, not thought.
they are simply felt
Deep in our hearts.

Dreams are turned possible
when we promise ourselves,
when we convince ourselves that no matter what,
we can do it.

We must not wait for dreams
to become a reality on their own.
We must grasp whatever end of rope we are given
and pull ourselves up towards them.

We must build our dreams
From remnants of what we have learned,
from our struggles, from our successes.
Build a castle, a castle of dreams.

We must sit on our thrones in our castle of dreams,
and grin ruefully looking back
on the struggles, then look ahead
towards the impossible dream that lies beyond.

Towards what dream we must accomplish next,
towards another wall to scale, reach the top, and build even higher.
To do the impossible, because impossible
really isn’t what it sounds like.
