Crumpled up paper
Tossed to the basket
Thoughts overwhelm
Excited and impatient
I can't mask it
Goals, hopes, dreams, pursuits
Big words and visions
All I have to do is follow through
Will I make it?
Can desire become real?
I have to make it happen
Eat better than those college meals
While they're away from home
The real world on pause
I'm figuring out taxes, income and business laws
They'll see
This college dropout
Is nothing but a socially constructed phrase
Said enough times
Make us feel like losers
I wonder who's really in the haze
Expectations
Speculations
Motivations
Absurd words
Directing our lives
Definitions abused
Meanings overused
Heart lost in it all
