Yearning

As each individual dreams

far-fetched as it may seem,

it keeps them in constant expectation.

Inside of which is a burning fire

nothing which can douse their desire;

within their hope lies the foundation.

Resilient despite despair,

not leaving anything to chance;

the reality of failure they’re quite aware;

refusal to it is their stance

so onward they plow;

feeling they’ll make it; someday, somehow.

Each person is different,

though inside they’re all the same.

Not one to be complacent;

determination is their aim;

something that all of us can relate

with anticipation; they eagerly await.

If a mere preposterous concoction

all based on grandiose illusions;

our hearts must use caution

since it’s our heart we’re using.

Imperfect decisions causing decay

and slowly the dream would wither away.

An intrinsic sentiment that’s hard to withstand;

inexorably we keep trying to aspire

as our unreasonableness exceed our demands.

Our over-zealousness causes a misfire;

so back to the drawing board for another try

since in dreams is where our happiness lies.
