Dare to dream

They might call you a dreamer,
A loner,
A freak,
A man of lofty fantasies,
Of goals beyond reach
And fanciful objectives.

They might call you insane,
An eccentric,
A lunatic,
A man of insanity long lost,
Of twisted logic
And ideas beyond reasoning.

They might call you stupid,
A fool,
An idiot.

A man of no intelligence
For proposing that which is impossible,
That which defies conventional laws.

But for all that is worth, one day,
The lines between dreams and reality will blur,
And your fantasies might become reality,
And you will be called a visionary.
For all that is worth, ignore them,
And be daring.
Dare to dream.
