Out of Reach

My parents always had high hopes for my future.

They told me I could be great.

They said I could spread my wings and fly,

Because they had high hopes for me.

I had dreams for my future.

I dreamed I could be anything

In reality I just wanted to be something.

My parents expected me to know what I wanted.

They raised me to dream…

But did they let me hope too much?

I wanted so much and dreamed of even more.

Now I’m stuck with my reality,

Wanting, hoping, and expecting my dreams to be out of reach.
