I wrote this poem in my student years.
Even back then I was trying to do things differently, to dream big and to chase those dreams.
Of course even back then, just like now I had many "nay" sayers. They were everywhere... At home, among my friends, people who did not know me well even.
Things have not changed much - I still get people raise their eyebrows when I open up and share my plans, expectations and goals.
Below is the poem:
when all around you is not “yours”
when you wanna run away but don’t know where to
when all seems ok, but the feeling is false
and you wanna do something, but don’t know what to do when each time you make initiating step
you get blocked by the same wall
when each time you wanna fill your inside gap
you are left with an unaccomplished goal You make some decisions
which are “yours” and “right”
They say it’s illusion
and your strange mind So you end up not sharing
your dreams and thoughts
Maybe you’re too daring
with all those “so what?”s
