The Don’ts of life.

Whisper. Don’t talk.
Talk. Don’t shout.
Ask. Don’t want.

Aim. Don’t overachieve.
Dream. Don’t scream.
Walk. Don’t run.

Quiet. The nays are screaming.
Quiet. The society is cursing.
Quiet. The world wants you to not move.

Dreams are not for you,
My love. Dreams are not
For you to come true.

Dreams are not for you,
My love. Dreams come true
For those who know how to say
Screw you, I want this.

No. Dreams are definitely not
Meant to come true
For you, my love.
