American Dream

Alex Moran

By Alex MoranPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I always dreamed of the white picket fence

On the corner of a nice neighborhood

I always thought I would be surrounded by friends

My family was supposed to be by my side

I never expected tears to come like a wavy tide

Everyone lost it when I told them my secret

I wish I was born the opposite gender

Once that came out of my mouth the American Dream ended

I have lost all sense of reality

I have lost the dream of the white picket fence

Lost the dream of friends and family

Lost the dream of hormone therapy

The house is crumbling

And the fence is broken

sad poetry
