My dream came to me in a dream  
"Are you prepared to walk over fire  
Across an ocean--  
To fulfill me?

Or would you give me up  
A goal you truly believe  
Just because rejections and failures sting?  
Was it all an illusion, to begin?"

I was speechless. My silence said it all.

"Hmmm... just as we expected, you took a fall  
Nay, you can't stop  
Easy it is not, fumble if you must  
Dreams are never built  
On foundations of mistrust.

Dive into the realms of consciousness  
Seek the unknown  
What you need is determination  
To pave your road.

Obstacles are a hindrance  
No doubt about it  
Armed with persistence  
Do whatever you see fit.  

Honesty is hard  
And integrity takes a toll  
The passion and zeal for commitment  
Isn't for all.  

Take the dried tears in your stride 
While running against the wind 
It'll all be worthwhile   
When you achieve your dreams."
