Visions and Dreams

Many teenagers hang their future
on a rock star, thinking 

somehow their adoration
will translate to success

so they plug in their 

electric guitars 

sing bad poetry into 

cheap microphones

thinking one day 

fame and wealth
will fill their desires 

but the doors never open

so they become
addicts and drunks, 

wasting their lives 

on failed dreams

but for some the dream
transpires and they live
the music and a life
beyond their dreams.
