The dreamers still dream while their dreams are still there. All bold and naive - few nightmares to interfere - with a dream that compels and compulses, persuades and convulses the veins of a dreamer to never slow down; to never slacken the pace. Running after their dreams as if in a race.
The dreamers still dream while their dreams are still there. All young and naive and bold enough to dare to chase after their dreams at a breakneck pace through insult and injury and shame and disgrace.
The dream shines on like a finish line in the mind of a dreamer. Transforming the intangible into solid, graspable things. Transforming fear and doubt into fuel to propel themselves towards achieving something thought impossible by all the non-dreamers, the non-believers, the bad teachers and ex-dreamers who've crossed their fingers in hope that the dreamer will fail.
Because why should they succeed when they've already bailed? They gave up on that dream. It's impossible, you see. That ship has sailed.
But the dreamer knows better.
Through sheer persistence and force of will, the dreamer dreams still, and finds a way to **** the naysayers' doubts and come out on top. Staying true to themselves and belief in that grand thought: that they can make their dreams a reality.
And when they do, the doubters will drop their jaws, stand up and applause, shed tears at the fact that their long abandoned dreams are now staring back at them, intact.
And they'll realize that what they saw before as foolishness and naivete, was really just the courage they lacked.
