The fate of dreams

In these times of opportunity,
held back only by your fears.
Too scared you might achieve something,
with your own blood, sweat & tears.

Perhaps it's pride that stops you,
that makes you just not care,
The pride you lost so long ago,
When life seamed so unfair!

Just don't be scared of failure,
start off with something small.
No matter your achievement,
you'll soon be standing tall.

So what can you do to guide yourself?
To make a change for good!
Just start off with the basics,
convince yourself you could!

Don't be put off by your setbacks.
Your age, your aches, your pains
Don't get too disheartened,
with the odd cut or ankle sprain.

Because it's harder when your older,
and you leave your dreams too late.
None of your drems will ever come true,
if you leave them all to fate!
