Will the World swallow you

Like a pill choking in its throat

Or will you make it spit out

The story that you wrote

So long ago

Make that fairytale

Come true

Past obstacles

And the illusion

That lightning

Only strikes

The lucky few

In the real world

Times get tough

Will you get going

When everything

Seems rough?

Will you find

The courage

You need today

Around, under,

And over

That mountain

In your way?

Or will you

Let the World

Swallow you

To spit you out

As some leftover

Second-rate

Appetizer

You wouldn't

Hand out

On the street?

Will you let the World

Swallow you?

Or will you

Make that

Dream deferred

... Come true?

You are really good
