promise

dreams of glitters and gold

they're never too old

carelessly aspiring

defiantly reaching

weapons drawn

your heart, your tongue,

a sheet of paper becomes your sword

the struggle lasts till dawn

the journey will take long

but my heart is fueled

by the desire to be gilded

blinded some will say...

maybe...

but this I pledge

the star I seek

will bring my journey to its end

no hail nor storm

will lead me to any bend

no man, no royalty, no god

will dampen my step

these dreams will be my guide

as I take this journey

and feel my every stride

no reason can keep

my goal at bay

no emotion shall ever

lead me astray...

my path is marked

my road is definite...
