Oblivious to the Oblivion - Poem
A couple of weeks ago, I had the idea to write a poem based on the lyrical prompt "Oblivious to the Oblivion", in which a young high school student has a desire to be successful in a certain field of work His dream job, so to speak. It is not revealed what type of job he actually wants, all he has is this "personal goal" he is working towards.
He often finds himself, picked on and made fun of by a group of bullies, who try to discourage and upset him with hurtful jokes and other painful verbal and sometimes physical jibes. But, he does not give in. He keeps his head up and continues to push forward.
No matter what.
In this poem, which starts when he is this young man and finishes when he already successful and enjoying his work, he talks to the "big bully" and tells him that the reason why he believes he is so successful today is because he had other people who believed in his dreams and helped to support him. He was "Oblivious to the Oblivion" that was taking place around him, whenever the bullies picked on him.
But not only did other people believe in his dream... He believed in himself. THAT is how he succeeded.
I hope you like the concept and I hope you will now enjoy the reading of this poem
Best Wishes,

Some say they dream when they sleep
But I dream when I am awake
I have achievements to achieve, and tasks to accomplish
There is so much at stake
I will keep on pushing and trying
, While you turn your head away
You may down look down on me now
But you’ll be looking up to me someday
Oh, you may wonder
Why I don’t react
To your insults, your jokes
And all your other attacks
It is because…
I am oblivious to the oblivion
Taking place around me
As you try to destroy
Every single one of my dreams
My dreams are inside my mind
A world I built for myself
Even you do break it
I’ll just rebuild it again
I may fall down a thousand times
But I just gotta rise again
Success will come time
Sometimes, I just don’t know when
But, if I keeping on pushing and trying
I’ll succeed in some way
I may be struggling right now
But I’ll be winning some other day
Oh, soon you may be wonder
How I achieved
When you and all your friend
In me, you never seemed to believe
It is because…
I am
oblivious to the oblivion
Taking place around me
As you try to destroy
Every single one of my dreams
My dreams are inside my mind
A world I built for myself
Even you do break it
I’ll just rebuild it again
You may
wonder why
My dreams came to reality
Is because somebody, somebody
Believed in me
Helped me to protect to my dreams
Showing me how to achieve
You succeed if only,
In yourself, you do believe
Now you understand
How my clouds cleared from your rain
But just in case your forgot
I’ll say it again
Taking place around me
As you try to destroy
Every single one of my dreams
My dreams are inside my mind
And you can’t ever touch ‘em
So, as hard as you try
You will never ever break ‘em
