"For nothing more than a simple dream;
Everything's not how it seems"

this is my favorite line i love the realization in it that most people dont see in real life you did a good job at presenting a presence of ourselves that most people dont ever think to look at or think about you did a good job!!

Very well done. I enjoyed. Liked the wording you have used. It is a nice realization poem that most of us in this world do not know. Good job keep it up.

Overall this poem was well written, but I'm not sure I 100% agree with message.

We're always trying to find ourselves, who we are and who we are meant to be. I can relate to that, and I'm sure many others can do the same, but I don't believe we should ignore what is said to be impossible. You might view it as a "simple dream", but that doesn't make it one. This is just what I gathered from this poem, but as I said it was well written and you did a good job. Definitely a snap to reality, but I don't think we should limit ourselves to what we're fed to believe.

@Maria, with that stanza, I really meant, just wake up. Don't waste your life doing things that are not as important as the bigger picture. Drinking, drugs, or whatever else.

I tried to describe that a little bit with this..

You get one life, and what you make it,
Don't be a fool, and mistake it;

But often, with a short poem, a message is rather hard to get by perfectly. Thanks for the constructive criticism. I appreciate it a lot!

I think I might rewrite this one, but make the message more clear. Because I don't want people to think I'm on the podium that is portrayed. Nothing is impossible.. And I want everyone to get the most out of life. Just, not "waste" it away with things that don't matter in the bigger picture.
