“Do The Hard-work Or Settle”

No one
Is giving
Out manuals
On how
To accomplish
Your dreams
And
Many childhood
Dreams
Are getting broken
And crushed
So let us recap
When you was
A child
The sky
Could not
Limit you
You wanted
The galaxy
Filled with
All the stars
And
Every planet
To be
Something
That was
Colossal
Close to
Monumental
To be someone
Bigger than life
Living out
Your dreams
Being who
You wanted
To be
Your creativity
Was on point
It was filled with
Truth
Purpose
And innocence
Your imagination
Had no limits
You could be
Anything
Everything was
At your fingertips
But something
Changed
Through trial
And tribulations
While becoming
An adult
Reality started
To diminish
Your plans
Turning them
Into a nightmare
You got scared
Of the dark
You began
To settle
Being consumed
Into your life
You turned into
Someone
Who did
Something
Out of necessity
Moving further away
From the light
You did not
Anticipate
You had to
Do hard labor
To get
Where you
Wanted to be
In life
Everyone has to
Pay their dues
One way
Or another
And
Some may have
To pay more
Than others
That is just
Your price
To your success
Do the work
Or settle
It will
Always be
Your choice
Life has
No manual
So stop
Looking for it
To find guidance
