Are Your Dreams As Colorful As Mine?

Lay on your stomach, and play away.
Go out and ride your bike,
Learn how to pray.
Have you forgotten what this feels like?
Work for hours and hours,
And study the day before.
Do a sport; the choice is yours.
What are you even doing this for?
Do you want to feel validated?
Join clubs! There are meetings every other day!
Welp, can't do that when you want to be valedictorian,
Because that'll surely make your worries go away.
Sorry, we can't spend time together at the park,
But you can text and post your feelings online.
Sorry, we can't hang out until after dark;
Looks like you're just busy sacrificing all your free time.
My oh my! Look at that, the year is already done.
Now go see what jobs are globalized.
Hobbies? You have none.
You don't even know how to socialize.
How are we supposed to know our own purpose?
What can we possibly contribute to the world?
You’re starting to get more nervous;
Life is taking you on a whirl.
Are you watching yourself from the sidelines?
Are your dreams losing color like mine?
Really great poem and one that I feel most of us could relate to.
I can relate. Hang in there. This site is so cool!
