My dream or my pride - By micheal vitale

<span style='font-size:27pt;line-height:100%'>My Pride Or My Dream</span>


I was given a choice,
In my heart I heard a voice,
It told me my dreams were reachable,
But my pride was always achivable..,

My Pride or My Dream....

I stand defeated,but without a mind a lost,
I stand victorious,but with a clear mind,
I set on the side viewing others achivements....and remain silent,
But focused only on improvement,

I see what I want I breath what I want,
I can dream about what I want,
but is it really something I want?

Am I scared that I'd fall and sunk,
When I day dream in school don't I realize I could flunk?
When I listen to deep music and write am I a true punk?

Questions for the masses isn't pride the fuel for the dream,
Yeah squeeze and own it.....just make it and own it,
Dreams with pride those moments are golden....

(I'm in class thats enough)

i dont like poems. for me its like a waste of time reading it.... thats my opinion though.

[SBYRD5]

Well It's free for you to have your opinion...but this is less of a poem and more of a confession..... :eh?:

nice poem...its pride man.. its pride :D

[SBYRD5]

Is pride a sin,
If someone believes in a god,
With pride can they ascend,

Yes pride is a sin,
But the pride to improve,
The pride to be better....stronger faster..
To not allow your dreams to be crushed by physical or mental efforts of another,
That kind of pride is determination.....that pride can not be a sin.

I'm not a man but a boy with dreams,
I stare at my hands they aren't even full grown,
They aren't the size of a man's hands but the spirit in them alone,

My voice has a strong tone,
When I step into a contest I'm in the zone,
I know that victory will be mine I've already decided this alone,

You can't defeat me,
I'm a wall I stand tall my spirit is always ready to brawl.
As silent as the wind,but as graced as the thunder,
Trying to put me down is simply calling out your own number.

When I reach the top my hands will be rough and dirty,
My arms will be firm.....and my eyes will be focused.
Today I'm a boy of dreams....tomorrow I will be a man of pride...

I'll be a marine.....known as THE BYRD???
