Revised Dream (Final Version) (Free verse) by Wakeboarder20
Facing the unknown without fear,
without knowledge or compromise.
With the world by my side
full of faith and confidence.
Staring at the sun
and never going blind.
Itâs been beat to a pulp
scared up and overlooked.
But Iâve always seen it
as a sturdy rock to stand.
See me as a fool
but I'll always believe.
Another dayâs gone by.
One more forgotten dream
but this one's never lost.
Take it to heart or ignore it
but know in every way
that this is a dream for all.

Essentially what I am trying to say here is that this poem will be very good if you can make it original. Read a lot of poetry on here and note all the recurring phrases/rhymes/images. Then avoid them like the plague. Your imagination will do the rest.
I look forward to seeing any revisions of this.
Now, you will probably want to kick me for saying this, but in my opinion the content would be improved if the faith aspect was toned down a little. I'm not saying do away with it - the poem's obviously centred around it - but I think that it would make it easier for you to invent around if you toned down the theology somewhat; this would also allow for more creative poetry. However, I also think you should wait for other people to give you feedback, because others might disagree with me on this point.
Keep up the good work!
I'll vote on this when it's nearer completion.
