"NEVER GIVING UP"

MY DREAMS ARE MORE THAN THOUGHTS,
MORE THAN WISHES, IT'S MY DETERMINATION.
THEY DON'T BECOME A REALITY THROUGH MAGIC.
IT'S THE SWEAT, HARD WORK, AND FRUSTRATION.
I'VE HAD MY UPS, AS WELL AS MY DOWNS,
AND I HAVE BEEN IN LONG DARK TUNNELS.
I'VE SEEN MORE TRASH THAN TREES,
AND ACCUMULATED ADDITIONAL FRIENDS, INCLUDING ENEMIES.
I DON'T WASTE FOLKS TIME,
SO THEY DON'T WASTE MINES.
I STAND ON TOP OF HILLS,
BUT BEING ON TOP OF MOUNTAINS IS A DREAM I MUST FULFIL.
I SPEND DEDICATED HOURS,
USING ENDLESS CREATIVITY,
WRITING, READING, AND BEING ARTISTIC,
AND PRACTICING PATIENCE TO INCREASE MY ABILITIES.
I HAVE FALLEN INTO THE SAME IDENTICAL HOLE CONTINUOUSLY,
BUT CONTINUE TO PRAY TO BE LIFTED TO HIGHER PLANES.
SOMETIMES I'M THE OBSTACLE IN MY OWN WAY.
JUST LIKE I CAN BE THE CLOUDS AT MY OWN BAY.
BUT, I'M NEVER GIVING UP...
WHY???
I HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE,
BUT TIME WASTED, CREATING MY OWN DEPRESSION,
LYING TO MYSELF, AND DESTROYING MY OWN CREATED AFFECTIONS.
