undreaming

my hard work didn't pay off,

the right people didn't show up

and my dreams didn't come true.

but really, it's never too late

to come to understand

the surest dreams you held so dear

weren't ever even meant for you.

the source of everything we believe

dreams-come-true will give

is actually in all the painful letting gos along the way.

it's only there we can find

unimaginable wellsprings of truths and people

we couldn't have ever dreamed

of needing at all.

and eventually,

we can't possibly imagine living without them.

and it's unbelievable how we ever did.
