Changing Aspirations
She thought she had it all figured out.
Biology and psychology, with no doubts.
But alas
Her greatest fear
Became a reality
In third year
Trying to change
the meds she was on
Sent her in a spiral
Her personality was gone.
Crumbling into tears
Each and every day
Not understanding
How things could turn out this way
The world seemed dull
Full of despair
She couldn't concentrate
Every breath a gasp for air
She questioned the point
of university at all
Questioned her program
Her world became small
Thankfully her parents
Lent a caring hand
They were the only ones
Who could sort of understand
Things are improving
Slowly I'm afraid
Still questioning her program
And the decisions she has made.
Veering off the pursuit of perfection
One goal still in mind
To make it through undergrad
Further aspirations left behind.
