Chasing Onwards

I chase this dream

With everything I have.

I want to be with it

Every step of the way.

From the moment I first touched it

To where my fingertips grazed actual possibility

To where my heart broke

Until a million shards

At the edge of the end of the song.

I have felt

A lot of things.

I have loved

A lot of things.

A lot of people.

But nothing touches this.

I run after this

With my heart on my sleeve

I chase it down with everything I have.

I race it

Follow it

Wander after it

I dash for it

I collide with it

Egged on by the briefest, sweetest hint

I taste

When I do this.

There is a moment

Of thrill.

There is a moment

Where I am in the sky.

There is a moment where I can't stop smiling and

This is what I want to do

Where I want to be.

This is my passion.

I will fight for it.

I will do anything for it.

Dreams don't chase you back.

Mine certainly doesn't.

But I will prove I deserve this.

I will prove I can do this.
