Lost Dreams

We live in a world where Our generation is frowned upon because of what they THINK we will do. But the MAN can not hold us down with LOST DREAMS Its sad because some of us have dreams But these dreams turn to hopes And these hopes turn to I don’t knows And these I don’t knows turn to I don’t cares. Today, you are not HOT if you’re not an entertainer, Maybe an athlete or a model. Anything to be in the “SPOTLIGHT” But NO You do not see many aspiring teachers, or doctors Maybe architects, or want to be presidents. Everybody wants the FAST life But does not want to do the work to get there Maybe the little girl With the fantasy to be the psychologist Or the young boy in the hood who wants to be the big time doctor But as they get pressured and forced to be less than potential. That’s where it gets to be LOST DREAMS Possibly the teen in a house Single mom Five siblings Yeah, that’s the one The one that aspires to be the next BLACK PRESIDENT But not if he can not conquer his senior year in high school Because he’s trying to FIT IN This is how lost dreams come into play Because of the people with ambition That do not put it to use The people that are multi-talented But allow peer- pressure and the weights of the world get the BEST of them This is to the people that aspire to do something with their lives The people that will not stop trying until they stop breathing The girl with the baby at 17 that believes she can not go to college Do not be fooled by LOST DREAMS Well, I refuse to be another statistic I refuse to let other people get the best of me I refuse to let someone steal my hopes away I REFUSE TO BE CONQUERED BY LOST DREAMS.
