FUTURE DREAMS

"what do you want to be in the future?" to me, this seems to be the most frequently asked question asked by adults, in primary school, i could give some crap about being a teacher, a astronaut, but in reality, i have no idea at all. but its all right then, cause we have time. time to think what we want to be when we grow up. we thought that we could be what we want to be, that the future is full of possiblities. And i continue to think that.until one day when a lecturer in polytecnic asked this question to the whole school. i realise sometime during my daydreaming, im being left behind. i had no dream, no idea of what i want to be. what i could be. watching the others stand up, one by one, talking about their dream, what they are aiming to achieve, compared to them, im so pathetic. hearing my mother telling me to not think about going uni, that she's unable to send me there. i realise my time is getting shorter and shorter. im so scared of my blurry future. in this world, thousands of people want to live but can't. have dreams and hopes so big but unable to fulfill, while here i am, stepping on it all. i should probably give my life to them, let them make the full use of it. pathetic little me.
