Dreams





Not everyone's dream
is meant to come true.
We're told
that it's possible
but not told the truth.
Only a precious few
of the billions that live
ever come close
to reaching their dreams.

We're told
that if we try hard enough,
dream strong enough
and put our minds to it
then anything can be ours.

They think they're being kind,
that they're inspiring us
when in fact
it's all a deception.
Their words of hope
are actually cruel.

"It's your own fault
if your dreams fall short."

And so
we watch the stars above
imagining our spot among them,
knowing full well
that we'll only ever be
the firmament.
the left behind.

Our place is to watch
and read
and be entertained.

Not participate
in any meaningful way.
