Entry for Brigits Flame -- October, Week 1

[cedarwolfsinger]

There it goes.
                  My Dream
                                     Deferred.
                                                         Again.

Am I wrong
To want to be passionately engaged
In what I do to earn my living?

This is not the end
              I can not
                        I will not
                                 I MUST NOT
                                              Give up.

I just wish I was not required to be
The “Responsible Adult”
Of the Household all the time.

If I refuse to be the Grown-Up
We lose the house
I betray my parents' legacy
I lose any hope
Of realizing the Dream
At any future time.

Bright Arrow,
Help me to keep on keeping on
                                     Believing,
                                                Hoping,
                                                       Working,
                                                                 Singing,
                                                                          On the path to realizing the Dream.
