Dream Slayer

Pen quill ready with a pot of ink on standby,
Thought I had a good idea but I believe that one just ran by,
Humiliating me, just out of reach, what a grand guy,
Career was on a roll, but it seems it was just a land slide,

If a dream can't be achieved what makes it a dream remain?
Is it not a nightmare against which you struggle in vain?
And even sicker is that kicker that you're the one to blame.
Why don't you quit and relax with a goal that your skills can attain?
