I stumble, I fall, and I rise
\nI am broken and unspoken
\nMy dreams run to escape
\nMy intentions remain silent
\nI saw a professor teaching
\nI saw a famous writer<\/p>\n
I witnessed somebody filming
\nI witnessed an inspirational photo
\nThe moon embraced me tightly
\nThe sun sparkled my path to success
\nThe pouring rain washed away any obstacles
\nMy boat is ready for the journey!
\nAnd I hold hope, I hold hope, I hold hope
\nMy dreams meant to\u2013oh, the startling light!<\/p>\n
A mountain of questions, a river of tears
\nI put my armor on to reach my dreams out
\nI have been dreaming, rising, pushing myself to realize my dreams
\nThe hidden pain, the hidden scars, the hidden fear, the hidden melancholy
\nMy dreams are like a game to win, an exam to ace, a life to live, a love to hold
\nI can see those poems, those novels, those books, those mysterious words!
\nThe world is clapping for me and making me famous and rewarding me and reading
\nMy books, my novels, my poems, and yet, the story of my life
\nMy dreams are my life; the ones that make my heart keep beating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
