Misplaced Dreams Poem by Stella Allou

When I was young, I was made to believe that dreams come true as long as u believe.
Growing up, I realize that dreams do come true but time can break the wings of dreams
The circumstances surrounding our heart desires sometimes turn our dreams into mere illusions.
Especially in a society where you get punished when u attempt to use your ingenuity; ure rather termed as being 'messy ' nd 'stubborn'. How then am I able to realize my potential fully when I'm scared to try something new and positive.
Folks advised
that I study hard, make the grades and get a job. A job that will literally put food on the table for satisfaction and not fulfillment.
The latter is termed a career.
I am fighting my way through and I know God will see me through this. I am determined that I will find my misplaced dreams one day
