Shattered Dreams

A shattered dream Or so it would seem Vanity of a skill Some would call supreme Crashing, crashing Falling all around me everywhere Everything reminds me of my dream Painful memories of opportunities That were missed Exclamated accomplishments Always get dissed What? Does it not catch your interest? It will catch your interest When others start to invest In me I believed it was my destiny To be a poetic child Origins from the wild And all the while I’ve been beguiled And beseeched My high mounted goal Can no longer be reached My success was brief Now how will I pay for college? I had it easy When all I had to do was kick knowledge Now I am no longer frolic Not even rock solid Because of a dream buster Lack of support From the most essential source So I am forced To resort In other people and areas No support from my carrier Shattered dreams I said Shattered dreams I said Promising dreams now dead And shattered dreams I said Are now shattered at the seams I said Or so it would seem I said Vanity of a skill Some would call supreme A skill no longer exists Because of a shattered dream.
