Concrete Dreams

Keep your dreams alive, they will grow with a little water and care.

I figured that since flowers can grow from concrete

so can dreams and desires

smashing old habits and hiding old skeletons in the back of closets should do the trick to make them grow ...

running towards the light leaving the darkness far behind my footsteps

Flash lights sitting at every corner

I dare it to creep up on me

cause now I can see you coming

If a flower can grow from concrete ..

So can I

I can grow from my lowest point

With all the doubt in the world

Little to no support

I can make it

and not a soul can tell me any different

I am 20 years of age. I am an artist and a poet . I am just trying to live my best life .. and be happy .
