Burning Dreams

I cant help but laugh

at the irony

parents telling you can do anything be anything

but then you get older and the truth is revealed

they want you to be realistic

what happen to being able to do / be anything

You LIER!

And I see so many younger kids reaching for the stars

where is my star?

My milkyway of possibilities

have they crashed and burn......gone away

I wanted to be a singer

I sung and sung and sung

you said I was really good

so I believed if i tried I would be....

years later and here I am

you tell me I'm not good enough

praising some other little girl

am I invisible?

that was my dream but you crushed it

before me wanting me to become a veterinarian

to hell with that

All I want to do now is learn Japanese

live in Japan

while publishing books

I just want to be an creative writer/author

but I Must be realistic

Have some other job

but I don't want to go to school for 8 years

for something I don't like

I see your logic but where has this so called realistic job lead you?

....no where....

your not happy

you all ready destroyed one dream

you wont have this one

I wont watch this dream burn

before my eyes

I'm reaching far past the stars and I wont ever come back to you

id rather die then do that

so when I leave when I'm 18

Ill leave my burning dream with you

and I'm going to leave it and you behind And i really hope those

burning dreams you destroyed

burned your face and through your skull
