The Last Poem
by Andres Diaz
Copyright 2017
When you dream, dream big
Go after what you want
Do not be dissuaded by others
Do not let others pour gasoline on your dreams
And then set them on fire
Your ideals are what keeps you going Even in the darkest times, under crushing defeat
Even in the darkest times, under crushing defeat
Keep the hope in your heart alive
Keep moving and you will see the light up ahead
The pain, suffering and heartache you go through
They are temporary things that will make you stronger
Continue the fight and show those that stepped on you
Those that hurt you and wanted to see you fall
That you never gave up
That you are better than them and their petty jealousy
You can have the world you want
It may take longer than you expected
It may not be in the form you originally envisioned
But it will be your future
And as you rise up, look at those that tried to stop you
See how far they fell
See how they tied themselves to the weights they tied you to
Look down on them as they scream up the mountain
Grasping the tethers you cut in their hands
Flip them the bird and then keep climbing higher
You’re better off without them and the pain they caused
Embrace your future
Embrace your hope
Embrace your joy
Close the door and move forward
It is now your time to shine.
