Big Dreams

Ask if I've got big dreams;

I'd tell you I've got some.

 

A secure job,

maybe a dog

 

Someplace to call home

With food on the stove.

 

A cornerstore right down the street,

stock full of cheap necessities.

 

A laptop and Wi-Fi,

so I can do schoolwork.

 

I want simple,

just what I need.

 

My dreams aren't all that big,

but they're dreams all the same.

Sometimes I worry about my future and how attainable everything I desire actually is. From a pessimistic point of view, I'm worried to dream big. I worry that society will overshadow me and I'll simply become another struggling student hoping desperately for a break.
