Painting Dreams

Image Source: Magpie Tales

The only thing that keeps me going

Is my passion to pursue my dream

I know no one shall stand by my side

But I shall now be my own team

Everything is tough at the start

Its all about working hard

People will try to mess it up for me

I need to keep my own guard

Backstabbers are a plenty here

They all are praying for me to fail

What they don't realize is that

Now I have learnt how to sail

Its easy to quit and walk away

But I want to hold on and try

Years later I don't want to think about it

And sit disappointed and cry

My dreams motivate me enough

I have the strength to walk towards it

Day by day I'm getting closer

My passion now is forever lit

I shall not give up until I get there

I am motivated by my own heart

Quitting a high paying job today

I'm all set to move into the field of art

I shall paint my dreams all bright

The colors shall never get shorter

I shall pass through fire for this

Or even walk through deep water
