Broken Dreams

What revelation! I saw the light, A simple plan, my future bright. I put my hopes and dreams in action, Solely for my own satisfaction. A perfect plan with one thing lacking, Needing father's financial backing. But when I plead to fund my way, "Son, not today," was all he'd say Each day I'd rise and ask him why, He only gave the same reply. I knew then to make my dream complete, I'd have to stand on my own two feet. But stubborn pride and temper swollen, I blamed him for my future stolen. Twas justified or so it seemed, I vowed revenge for all I dreamed. So late one night while father slept, Into his room I slowly crept. I planned to kill without a sound, Instead he woke and knocked me down I tried to rise, but something's wrong, The strength once there was dead and gone. Too weak to stand, I crawled away, For now I'd know the hell to pay.
