Dreams Deleted V.2


“If you keep it up you can go wherever you’d like.”

Are my dreams furthered?

Many wishes to attend:

Notre Dame, IU, or Purdue.

Stanford, Harvard, or Yale.

 

“You’re years away from having to worry about that.”

Are my dreams deferred?

Many want to be:

Pop stars, presidents, and princesses.

Lawyers, doctors, and architects.

 

“It’s sad [relationships] are already ruined for you.”

Are my dreams deleted?

Many wishes to:

Fall in love, get married and have kids.

Nice car, home, and family.
