No Longer


A child with dreams,

Larger than life.

An adult now,

what happend to those dreams?

Life and depression took them,

Just working a dead end job.

No hope for a future beyond the monotony. 

Is this what it means to grow up?

To abandon your dreams,

Accept monotony,

No,

College awaits,

Pursuing dreams and realizing them.
