Childhood dreams break so easily
under the pressure
of reality

Wishes become burdens
where at one time
they were hopes

Where do lost children go
when the bodies they once inhabited
grow too big for them?

It's senior year and I realized how old I've gotten. Makes one melancholy for lost opportunities.
