Until That Day

• Artist: W a f f l e b u n n i e
• Description: I wrote this when I was feeling depressed about college. I edited a little but it's generally the same as it is on paper.
  I want to be a Graphic designer but my mom wants me to go into pharmacy. I was feeling very upset so I wrote this.

I'll never be that dream I've always wished to be
I'll never be that person I knew I could be
All it is, is the greed of society
To reach the top with anxious tenacity
It's always for the money
It's always to get that bread and honey
Nowhere can I just be me
Nowhere can I just be free
To reach the one place that gives me my name
Instead of going around this circular game
I'll lose the happiness I could have had
For that object that makes up the fad
The beauty I saw with my own eyes
May one day be lost and continually die
I knew better than to depend
On my ink and my pen
On my dreams and illusions
I know better than those delusions
Yet I won't stop dreaming for that day
When in that light I can finally say
"I'm happy"
I am happy to be where I am
I'm happy with this choice
But until that day comes I'll just have to hold my voice

oh shoot! WHERE? Oo
In a way I think it's a good symbolic reference if it's more restricted because the poem is about being restricted and held back.

I dunno...I'll shut up now....

It's good, it seems a little restricted by making it rhyme though. You also spelled "lose" wrong. Otherwise, I like it! biggrin
