Poem a Day: Where Did the Dreams Go?
Frequently we let life's adversity get in the way of our dreams or we become complacent in our relationships or situations. We must not allow life to stifle our dreams, nonetheless, we must push forward through life's tribulations.
Lost in life,
Amidst trials and setbacks that
cause an abyss of disappointment,
In the back of my mind, the
thought of success is still crawling,
A teacher, lawyer, doctor,
minister,
Loads of possibilities, but the
consequences and choices of life,
Has caused deep regret,
And now, I am left financially,
emotionally, and mentally
In debt of my pass,
Dreaming of it become more than
just a fantasy,
But life and it’s twists and
turns has made it almost unattainable,
I crave to be there, there, you
know there where my dream is,
Where my dream is attainable and
my inner self is defeated,
Where patience has more value,
and wanting it now,
Does not put me in risk of
failure,
I don’t want to be here, here
with a lost dream,
Here wishing my vision could be
seen,
Seen as in reality, rather than
fantasy,
Up in flames when I became known
as a felony,
Down the drain when I came to
know of this pregnancy,
Like the last leaf of autumn;
fallen,
My dream, fallen.
