listen, hear the calling
goosebumps forming on your skin
under fine hairs rising to the thrill
of a chilling encounter between
a hope and reality
the transition from a wish to fulfilled
our dreams are never empty
but heavy with passion, desire, purpose
uncertainty, frustrations, doubt, liberty
the weight of these things we carry
will either crush us or make us stronger
ironically, a real dreamer never sleeps
constantly chasing the high of what could be
this is not just mere fantasy
can’t you recognize the heartbeat?
are you not awake?
