Dream Killers
As a parent, I watched my older two children's dreams die. As an individual, I'm not sure I ever gave my dream a real chance to live. Tell me about the dream killers you've encountered. No constraints to form or length. This is the first challenge I am posting so here goes!

They don’t win in this one

This ones to the kids who’s teachers said “they’d never make it”, who put their dreams down before they could even try to take them. Who tried to stomp their flames out when they were the ones supposed to create them.

This ones to for the kids who’s parents told them to “get a safe job” and tried to steer them in their footsteps just so they could grow up and hate their lives and what they’d become, so they can get up in the morning feeling more numb.

This ones for kids who got bullied on the playground, who were called all the worst names elementary kids could think of those days, just to go home and have their parents complain about their grades

This ones to all the kids who grew up feeling worthless, who tried to change themselves so others will think their worth it.

This ones for everyone who tried to achieve their dream but ended up listening to the world saying “no”

You are not worthless

You will make it I swear

Just hold on to Hope

The Dream Killers don’t win in this story I swear.
