Author Julie Jewels Smoot: Reaching for My Dreams

Hand Pinching Sun

Author Julie Jewels Smoot's poem Reaching for My Dreams

Reaching for my dreams, I step onto the stage

Each moment filled with hope, passion, and rage

All my fears forgotten, I stand tall and brave

Chasing after my dreams, no longer a slave

Hurdles and obstacles, they may come my way

But I won't let them stop me, not today

I'll keep pushing forward, with determination in my heart

Striving for greatness, until I reach my part

My dreams are like stars in the dark night sky

Guiding me on this journey, as I reach up high

Each step I take, brings me closer to my goal

As I fight for my dreams, with every inch of my soul

Naysayers may doubt me, but I won't be deterred

I'll prove them all wrong, with my every word

My dreams are my fuel, my motivation to succeed

I won't stop until I reach them, no matter the need

Grasping at the opportunities, that come my way

Seizing every moment, making the most of my day

Reaching for my dreams, with all that I am

For nothing can stop me, not even a dam

Every setback, only makes me stronger

Fueling my fire, making me fight harder

I'll keep reaching for my dreams, no matter the cost

For in the end, all I'll have gained will not be lost

Dominating my fears, I charge ahead

Rising above, every doubt in my head

Every step I take, closer to my dreams

Achieving the impossible, or so it seems

Making them a reality, one step at a time

Reaching higher, with each mountain I climb

Yearning for success, with every breath I take

Dreams within my grasp, I won't let them break

Struggling, pushing, breaking through

Reaching for my dreams, with all that I can do

Every challenge, only a stepping stone

Making me stronger, making me grown

Success is within reach, just out of my sight

But I'll keep reaching, with all of my might

For my dreams are worth fighting for

They are what I strive for, forevermore

Inch by inch, I'll reach the top

My dreams within reach, I will not stop

Striving for greatness, with all that I am

Dreams to reality, my ultimate plan

Reaching for my dreams, I'll never give up

No matter the struggle, no matter the hiccup

For they are my purpose, my reason to fight

I'll keep reaching for my dreams, with all of my might.
