These dreams of mine – 
the ones I cling to 
believing I will never feel 
fulfilled
until they are realized – 
keep me shackled 
in the sewers of this world.
But,
when I flip the coin
I see their worth – 
in guiding me away from me – 
if only I would not cling to them!

How then can they ever be achieved – these dreams of mine?!

Like everything else 
that has bound me to me 
I must open my hands 
and the vice grips of my soul
to the outcome desired by 
The One 
Who gave the dreams only as a guide – 
for that is all they are – 
humbling my heart of all pride.
