lifeinpoetry:

To be denied a reflection and to be locked out of a self.

" If you are going to dream big be willing to work hard, or prepare to meet disappointment face on. If you have a enormous goal, something you hope for in your dreams, it is going to take enormous amounts of work. Start fighting how you should for what you believe in, be willing to work hard and stay encouraged. "
