dying

dreams.
big dreams.
noble dreams
(or so you think).
inspiring,
motivating,
encouraging.

but then
reality hits.

reality.
suddenly,
your dreams
become fuzzy.
others shout,
"don't make us
so uncomfortable
by dreaming
of change."

so you quit.
dreaming.

and go on.
learning to accept.
reality.
it's a foreign place,
this reality.
it's cold.
hard.
not ideal
but real.

and you know.
somehow.
you'll muddle through.
