Fear-the voice of the zeitgeist.

There are some nights that I'm scared that I'm never going to get any further in life than this.  I'm scared that this is the glass ceiling.

Tonight is one of those nights.  My truck is about to be impounded and I haven't got enough to eat.  I've put in job applications but those are all minimum wage jobs.

I'm scared I'll never get to live my dreams.  Please let me be wrong.  Don't let this be the glass ceiling.

I feel like everything they told me would work in life never did.  College didn't mean a better job, it didn't make me any smarter or teach me anything other than how to party.  Drugs aren't all that bad (marijuana actually saves lives), and maybe getting married and having babies is a shitty dream to have.

I'm frustrated with life the way it is.  I'm tired of listening to my elders and tradition because in the end all they do is look down on me for wanting more than some phony dream.
