Are you a Dreamer or a Prisoner?

They say to fear is to live, and for a long time I believed this.
For no one ever got hurt, nothing ever got ruined. I saw people get hurt, I saw people fail and I thought I had found a life hack. Little did I know I was a prisoner of my fears.

I was awakened when I engaged with my peers.
They spoke of experiences I had never had. Even those I knew I was better at academically seemed to be geniuses compared to me.
It was then I realised the error of my ways.
For years I considered them prisoners of their dreams, what I didn't realise was dreaming was how they escaped the prison I'm stuck in.

Life put all of us in the same box, some of us stay where we put while the great ones among us dream and follow such dreams and with that they escape the prison.
