Closer to My Dreams

As I continue to fail,

I realize,

that im closer to my dreams.

The farther I run from acceptance;

call me clumbsy but I keep trippin over success' feet.

I chuckle, masking the indescribable explanations of my actions.

Time and time again, I find myself dusting my clothes, aiding my wounds,

still, prodigiously,

Im getting stronger and closer,

to my dreams.

Jay-z said you lost one,

HOV, them niggaz lucky, cuz I lost plenty.

Still,

some how, I realized I was getting closer and closer to my dreams.

A dream by definiton is a series of thoughts or visions during sleep.

Shit, call me a sleep walker.

Im now reaching heights I never thought I COULD reach; let alone WOULD reach.

And whats kept me moving, ironically, are those who doubt me.

We all know Dr. King got the those "yousa dumb nigga" looks...

Somehow this "dumb nigga" got a national holiday. Huh, you do the math.

I once read a book where the author says "responses to superficial comments are made by losers."

Therefore, I speak not with words; but with action.

Its Todd with a lili food for thought.
