Hopes and Dreams; Oh How They Seem
By Virgils Vigil
So futile.
First I’m too hot, then I’m too cold
First I’m too young, then I’m too old
Nothing turns out the way that it should
Nothing becomes the way it should seem
Reality never manifests from a dream
Until it’s too late
Everything is at stake
You kill for a break
Yet the needle won’t take
It solely skips the skin
Of that old vinyl track
You wear on your back
And they’ll burry it with you
As you carry it with you
To your unmarked grave.

Definitely have to agree with dwells, well executed similes can make a poem; great supporting diction.
