Major Shattered Dream

I'm sure I've told this in class But at this point you've let it pass My major's Writing But this is not my dream choice For poverty strikes me I cannot afford Graduate School my dream is fractured My life cruel Creative Writing That was the major of my dream My dearest hope,my life’s cream I once had another dream I have decided on a whim Like you I wanted My desire was to teach Thorugh teaching English morals preach In my wishes But then, but then, but then A letter of rejection came Saying “ You don’t qualify” The folowing night in sleep A truck ran o’er me Life shatters wishes And shaves ridges Formed through the rigid stubborn plans Career for decades My plan was as follows First receive a bachelor’s degree And enter corporate world and teach Whist saving money I would then enter graudate school Allowing for my goal to fuel And study School Library Science This is the part, this is the part That troubles most my thorbbing heart And rips my hopes
