Don't Stop

Don't stop
Just because others dismiss you
If it's what you want
From the bottom of your heart

Don't give up
Because others laugh
If it's all that you've ever
And always wanted

Don't forget your dreams
Just because they're not someone else's
If they're exactly
What keeps you going

Don't ignore you
Because you are only a tiny speck
In the big picture
Because the reality is
The only one
Who should truly matter to you
Is the one
Look back
When you look in the mirror

It is true that a lot of people give up their dreams because of others. It's important to help those people to get back on track. This poem, so nicely written is a perfect example that everyone should be themselves. And if they are finding that hard then there are people out there with the hearts to help, just like yourself.

Amen. "Is the one/Look back/When you look in the mirror" I think that should be "Is the one/WHO lookS back/When you look in the mirror" Great poem.

This is a piece of advice many people should hear. Lots of times people get busy and forget about their dreams and goals. They let their life, love, relationships get in their way of acheiveing what they truly want. Nice piece, straight to the point and easy to understand.
