Choose your Fighter

You can chase your dream and not let it come to you
You can get what you want by trying, well, not so hard
You would be called a dream chaser, although you wouldn't take offense
Because you know you will succeed in life and go further than all of the others
You chase your dream while others wait for the perfect opportunity
You don't have the patience

You could be calm and relaxed
Sit in an imaginary Adirondack chair and watch your dreams fly by
Some would get caught in the pine trees above you
But you wouldn't get up and risk the fact of cold air creeping up your sweater
So you wait for the dreams for fall down from above
You aren't worried if they don't fall down right away
Because you know that they can't stay up forever

You could be a thrill seeker, risk taker
Tell everyone they are crazy for not being as crazy as you
You don't care about dreams in the slightest bit
You could care less about how far you go in life
Because you know that the thrills and excitement can never go away
You don't care what others think of you
Go have other things you can think about that are far more important

So, choose your fighter, and see where it takes you
It doesn't matter who you chose
You will always be happy

    What a beautifully optimistic piece! I love your implication that one doesn't need to follow a specific path in life in order to be happy. Well done!
