As the crescent moon fails to light my way.

Keep searching despite feeling frustrated,

I follow what my inner voices say.

I do not know what lies around the bend.

They say I’m mad, too young to understand.

Yet my dreams aren’t just fantasies, my friend.

No one knows their future since life’s unplanned.

As always, I believe the slopes ahead

Are never as steep as they might seem.

Though I often tumble and hurt my head,

Never will I stop till I reach my dream.

I am no longer lost as I wander,

So don’t wake me up until it’s over.
