Dreams Are All I've Got Poem by Kelly Iyogun

Dreams are all I've
I learnt to dream because Dad says, you can be whatsoever you dream to be, your dreams defines you.
Though mum says not to share them with the world,
Till they leave the walls of my mind and take root in the foundation of my empire.
But this days these dreams I dream, begs to be heard,
It has grown too much, for one man to dream alone,
Now I do not want my dreams to define me, I want it to define the world.

Dreams are all i've got
Don't take it from me,
I know they sound crazy,
I see the looks you give when I tell them to you,
You fear am loosing my mind
I'm scared you have lost touch on what it means to dream.
You say you are disappointed, that am chasing shadows.
Am saddened you don't see the big picture.
It's okay not to see it,
But don't you dare tell me what I see is just illusion. Because I dream great things.

Dreams are all I've got,
Don't you steal it from me,
Do not go behind my back to claim it
just because you have the resources to turn them into realities.
I share my dreams with you because I've come to trust you,
I let you into the goldmine of my mind, because I want you to be a part of its dawning.
Do not kill it only to birth it has yours for my dreams are all i've got.

Dreams are all i've got.
They keep me awake when others warm their beds
They make me see the world better than it is now,
Dreams are all i've got
Though the world can't see them yet
But soon they will be leaving my dream.
