having never done what I should <br />doing things the hard way <br />only to find I come up short. <br />settling for less <br />expecting less and less <br />learning to take it <br />like a bad back <br />learning to take the pain <br />learning you can't do that anymore <br />instead of the brain <br />the heart is softly, slowly beaten flat <br />will becomes powder <br />easily blown out by the slightest wind <br />dampened fully by one tear <br />and you say 'I should have followed my dreams' <br />and I say your dreams are just that <br />hollow trunks to keep your hope in <br />illusions to be sought after <br />fantasized over <br />passing daydreams <br />and days when everything was OK. <br />when will it be my turn <br />to feel like that again <br />hoping <br />one day <br />maybe <br />but not now <br />maybe <br />but maybe not<br /><br />Anthony Fortunato<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/maybe-not-now-maybe-never/
