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.
