BROKEN DREAMS (FEATURED POST)

                                                                                            

I write this with a sad heart,

As I have my sober reflections,

I remember the days I had dreams, ambition and purpose,

The years my dreams were intact!

I was 14 years and 9 months old,

Just fresh from my junior school getting into my Senior years,

I had that dream of becoming a "neurosurgeon" and owning my own business,

Then I started my journey into my teenage years not knowing things,

Oblivious of the world's distractions,

Then I fell into the pit of distractions, complacency meeting "dem babes", 

Smoking "dem craze" and "dancing my days off".

In a twinkle of an eye,

I became 18, finished high school got into college, 

Then freedom came with its "baggage of troubles", 

It felt so real and I felt so happy,

Suddenly in my second year, I was 19 and my muse was 17 we got into each other,

Played away our life's and I made my biggest mistake she got pregnant,

Then my dream was going into the oblivion! 

Now I am 33 and I settled for what life has to offer,

Not what I dreamt of,

And I noticed my dreams got broken!
