I walked and walked and it seems I have been doing it forever

My path is so long and so far that I cannot carry myself any more

It seems that each time I take a step the sand of shame covers me from head to toe

Cant walk can’t speak and all I can hear is the word failure

Tried I have, trying I have been to get up on my own feet and to wake up from this nightmare

And I don’t know what's gonna happen to me

They are staring at me already deciding my fate

They smile and wave pretending to be nice to me

But with each scornful look they give me I know what they
Think of me

Will I survive or will I die in this earth unremembered I ask myself

I take a deep breath savoring the last scent of this day

And close my eyes giving up to death of being worthless

And as the sand covers my lung instead of air

a small voice in my head said to me open your eyes

When I did one more glance to this world I am leaving behind I said

Surprise I see that all along it’s in school I have been

Dreaming on my desk while the teacher spoke in English

Then it made sense to me that all that I need is hope for

Tomorrow is another day to stomp on failure

i always say .. hope without action is really failure ... because when you do this you are just throwing dreams to the wind ... i think we ahve to dream & hope then , do any small thing on putting the dream on real world...
