Faraway Dreams

I'm scared to follow my dreams

All I have are thoughts like

Is there really a possible career

In being a writer

or a poet for me?

Is it too late for me

To pursue my dreams

Of being a poet

Or a writer

And making a profit

And a career out of

Something I love doing?

Am I too old to start?

Even though I'm

Only in my mid twenties,

What about my

Other dream careers?

Is it too late to

Possibly pursue them

And find a career

Doing one of those?

Have I wasted my life

And waited too long

To start trying

To follow my dreams?

Maybe that's all my

Dreams are, a fantasy

In my head that will

Never be much more

Than an idea in my head.
