Dreams

They tell me,
"Keep acting."
"Keep drawing."
"Keep writing."
"Keep dreaming."
They say,
"Follow your dreams.
I didn't have a chance.
I remember when I had a dream.
Now it's gone without a glance."
​I know I'll be something
I have to be a change.
But the number of dreams that are left behind
is truly strange.
What's the point of growing up
if you give up what you love?
What's the point of living
without what you dream of?
I understand that you're all busy.
You have your own lives to attend.
But if you have some time, please listen.
And don't let your dreams end.
Just take a few minutes each day
to embrace what it is you need.
I swear, it won't cost too much
and it won't be seen as greed.
If you love the sound of music
and to sing is what you long,
then grab a microphone
and give the world your song.
If you need to spin and dance,
then go follow your heart.
And if you love the colors of the rainbow,
go make your art.
Reading, filming, writing, playing,
acting, drawing, singing, gleaming,
sewing, dancing, traveling, watching,
cooking, making, teaching, dreaming.
Follow.
Your.
Dreams.
