The dreams fades

The dream fades a lil’ more

with each passing day

seeming more ridiculous

more far fetched

more far away…

~~~

drowning in the responsibilities

and mundane tasks 

of adult existence 

exhaustion is my new best friend

not the dreams I once had

~~~

but sparks of creativity 

keep forcing themselves through

the ashes that linger

refusing to be dowsed

refusing to be abandoned 

~~~

and so I struggle on

though the dream 

does seem to fade

day after day

but today is not that day.

    I can definitely relate to feeling this way. Adulting can easily get in the way of our dreams. The key is to never give up on them no
    matter how hectic life gets. The right time for fulfilling our dreams will come.
