Almost Had it All

i almost had it all

i almost had my dream come to life

but flying too close to the sun comes with a price

then fate decided to burn my wings

and i began to fall aimlessly 

looking for a ground and stay for the summer

but i couldn't tell it was winter in the summer

now i just stare at school bus that refuses to pick me

This poem is part of "Fire in My Dreamland: A Poetry Series" and was only written 3 month apart from "A Savior in the War'. In that poem, i talked about staying there till the summer arrives and in this one i'm hoping to stay for the summer but the cruelty is that summer just refuses to arrive for me to even stay. Even though this poet found a savior, the reality is that my midnights are still haunted.
