Shattered Dreamers

a poem that i wrote in 5 minutes

A world so vast,

possibilities seem infinite. 

So much to do

So much to experience.

Everything is attainable,

or so we are told.

Our youth spent

with eyes bright 

and a mind full of dreams.

What happens

to that youthful zest for life

as we grow older? 

Adults with repressed dreams,

living a life they don't want to be living.

It's truly sad

how people settle for less.

A trail of neglected hopes 

with people reassuring themselves

that they are happy,

that they did the best they could.

I love this. The concept is really good. Settling is the worst thing that anyone can do. You've expressed that so well in this beautiful piece. It's so inspiring! :)
