Keep Your Dreams, by KK Subscribe to rss feed for KK

My heart filled with dreams
since I was just a kid
Promised to fulfill them
even if my parents would forbid

I planned it all out
step by step
Imagining it perfectly 
those secrets I kept

Time flew by 
as highschool rolled on
I forgot my wishes
Didn't realize it was all gone

Fifteen years later
thought I did the right things
They were all mistakes
No great findings

Act like I don't care
I still got some time
Think and repair
Find a love of mine

A few more years down the drain
my babies now have their own
My head is spinning
Hard to see them all grown

I sit down and think
what did I do?
I threw it all away
There's nothing new

Should I regret?
Yes, of course
I let my dreams go
I feel the remorse

It breaks my heart
No more time it seems
Take a deep breath...
Cause it's all just a really bad dream

I was talking to my mom the other day. And it pretty much inspired me enough to write this poem based on her life. She has so many regrets...
