Broken promises and broken dreams <br />That's what she writes about <br />At night <br />The cast off light <br />Of the lamp, at her head <br />She lies in bed <br />Sleepy but not tired <br />She tries to write <br />But fails to keep her eyes up <br />It's late at night <br />She's young but her body 's tired <br />Her mind floats off <br />From the task at hand <br />And then she remembers <br />Her forgotten plans <br />She remembers when her friends <br />Stopped being her friends <br />And instead of being on stage <br />She settled for being a fan <br />Instead of being independent <br />She jumped from empty cans to older men <br />Broken promises <br />Mirror <br />Broken plans<br /><br />Cassandra Castelant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-promises-and-broken-dreams/
