This Dream Is Mine Poem by Fareez Phalez

I asked myself repeatedly
What is it that I want
Giving up on everything
As I wonder what's to be done

My soul cannot be in peace
As long as I'm not settled
Maybe it's peace itself I seek for
While living in this world

But I wonder how
And thought of liberty
To be free from being a slave
To this selfish society

It's not about power
Nor it's about fame
Definitely not money
Though I'll need it for this game

But I do want to have a chance
To speak and be heard
But without money and fame who am I
I'm a man without words

Who am I to change this world
When it's said to change me
But I say what is the world
But billions of others just like me

We all have different mind
With different dreams and desires
No man can take them from me
And burn them in the fire

So a desire remains a desire
A dream remains pursued
Why should I bow down
To a selfish person like you
