What Is Holding You Back?

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

 Are You Holding Yourself Back?

If you have a dream, live it 

If you have an idea, do it 

If you have a wish, make it 

If you have a fear, lose it   


Reality only comes to those that work 

Think and decide, plan and strive 

What dreams do you dream? 

Magical far off scenes? 

What ideas do you have? 

Things that would change the world? 

What wish would you make? 

Selfish or for other’s sake? 

What fear is keeping you back? 

Fear of success or what you lack?  


 If you have a dream, live it 

If you have an idea, do it 

If you have a wish, make it 

If you have a fear, lose it   


There is only one life to prove your worth 

To take advantage of living without temptation and sinning 

Winning is more than a final destination 

It is an outlook and an instinct for preservation 

If you have a dream find a way to make it real

If you have a world changing idea, stop at nothing to build 

If you have a wish, make it a reality 

If you have a fear, readjust your mentality 

Go make things happen Live your life with passion and morality   


If you have a dream, live it 

If you have an idea, do it 

If you have a wish, make it 

If you have a fear, lose it

I loved your poem! I am a writer/poet at heart. I haven't started blogging yet, but I hope to start soon. My native language is Afrikaans, and for me to start writing in English, my second language, will be a challenge. I am looking forward to it. I will do what you say: I have a dream, I will live it. I have an idea, I am going to do it!
I am SO going to make your words my own!

1st. You got a new follower. 2nd. that is cool English is your second language. 3. Start blogging. Don't wait, do it now. Go and post something. It gets easier the more you do it. Write what you love and just do your best. Not only will you start to get better, you will also pick up new fans along the way. JUST DO IT. That is right.

Remember, everyone has dreams, but not everyone can live them. Be a person that lives it. Good luck.

It was a insightful poem and thanks for the feedback last time.

No problem and thank you for taking the time to read and respond. It means a lot that you keep coming back. Thank you!!!!

Wow, beautiful words. I didn't know if I should read it, when I found myself singing it and rapping it as an anthem. Might have something to do with the music I'm listening to. The beat works great too :)

HAHAHAH it is funny you say that... I am actually, don't tell anyone, the current Text Topical Champion on Rap-Royalty.com. hahaha. So when I write, it is usually to a beat in my head. Nice pickup. Thanks for your support and I'm glad you liked it. It means a lot.

You and I my friend are one in the same #soulsisters :) did you just say text topical champion? So your basically a celebrity; no big deal, JUST A FREAKIN BIG DEAL!!

lmao.... not really. HAHAHA, yes to soul sisters but no to big deal. HAHAHA, I do have this...

Wear it/ post it with Pride :)

lol! Thank you. hahaha, I don't tell many people about it. I write kinda in secret. Nobody IRL knows. lol

I'm always impressed with myself when I can figure out stuff like "IRL" :) I'm in the same boat, only my best friend and a few of my distant acquaintances and they only know because they are artists and I want them to join. Nonetheless, I think it's awesome!

I love how you you incorporate the dream, idea, wish and fear. Creative
