Dreams Not Realized

Born with an itch to split this town

Raised on promises that let me down

Future is uncertain, thoughts of dismay

Now I rage and it’s on full display!

Climbing a ladder, that starts to crack

Every step fueled for an attack

They said “Work hard, you’ll touch the sky”

The sky has fallen, not the least surprised!

I saw the gates, then seen the light

Slammed shut into late overnight

I’m just a name they’ll never know

A ghost hidden in their status quo

Dreams not realized- Read the letter

I search for answers and it’s not better

We were meant to rise, Stand and fight

Forging forward into the black night

Dreams not realized—this was private

No more silence, no more quiet

Etched our names in the largest stone

A Throne of broken bones

Reward the cowards, praised the frauds

While we were buried under odds

Preparing Death Camps keeps us silent

They danced in suits, as we sank to be compliant

But rage is fuel and scars are maps

Rebellion marching pushes through traps

No silver spoons or a safety net

Venom nitty gritty with no regret

This is for the ones denied

The artists crushed, the truth defied

The dreamers told to play it safe

Burn their rules and raise the stakes

No more waiting, no more blame

Burning hot coals host your shame

Dreams not realized?

We’ll make your nightmares come alive

Dreams not realized- Read the letter

I search for answers and it’s not better

We were meant to rise, Stand and fight

Forging forward into the black night

Dreams not realized—this was private

No more silence, no more quiet

Etched our names in the largest stone

A Throne of broken bones
