When dreaming onward in your life, dream with best intent
about the things that to you have gave something that meant
daily worth acquiring, bringing time well spent
don't give up yourself for lack or others that hell bent.
On describing you in ways they wanted you to be
with their angst and their ire of what you can achieve
don't listen to a hustler with trick or treat laced sleeves
keep your mind safe, learn to center, what you can receive.

The living rations you have kept safely in your mind
for surviving difficulties others leave behind
to wear you down gradually over spans of time
while they shuffle all your dreams and deal your only life.
In a stacked deck, of a game you don't know is played,
leave them grasping at the straws they chose to use, enslave
your thoughts to them that they alone construe to then be made
for hope's demise within your life on every given day.

Wake your mind, be thankful for more of life to live
knowing that inside of you there's so much to give
to people who deserve your time, your effort and ideas
you tend to daily to encourage both you and them to lift.
Each the other from a trouble then ease their weary minds,
a hand do lend as helpfulness to others over time
at any given moment when they have lost their smile
if only all to be to them some comfort for a while.

The human that's inside of you is well more than enough,
to be your hope and your strength when circumstance are tough
without being desecrated by heckles from the mind
or wasteful worries set to rough you out of your own life.
Tricking you, deceiving you, that no one would still care
about the better ways of life you've gathered over years
to be your faithful battle cry to raise you back to cheer
you and others as you go through life's unscheduled snares.

Keep yourself well centered in the things that you well know,
keep for good your well learned skill and harbor safe control
over burdens that would weigh you down inside your soul,
allow your own life first to matter to you as you go.
From one waking dream brought forth to you each new day
where ideas build up and gather in their own sweet way
in abundance to keep you from useless, hurtful chatter
about the pointless, needless things meant to only shatter.

The you who's lived your every day learning life's small patterns
in waking moments then affirming to do and well think better
than yesterday's old version of what was really gathered
then sift, believe, doubt, discard or to there to be tethered.
See your life on day to day, see its simple basis,
without giving up your mind or in to unknown critics
who display all our lives seen through their rose lenses
heaping our lives into these or those or praise or disses.

Dream ever onward, ever forward, bring to life your days
fill them every little piece of what you would give way
to evolve, to grow strong, to inspire next,
all you need, desire, want, all the best expect .
Choices, preference, day and night over in your time,
where you strive in thoughtfulness to believe and combine
simple steps in daily deeds, achievements there to find,
all your dreams are full of things when dreaming about life.
