Letting Go Of My Dreams

Well, I gave up
tonight
on my dreams
of a cure for myself
and of success,
because these
have been weighing
me down
for years,
and the world tells us
to hold on to our dreams,
but I suggest
letting them go,
or flushing them
down the toilet,
and these dreams
were the goals
that I set out
to accomplish
at some early stage
in my life,
but after forty or so years
of trying and struggling,
I see now
that I'm better off without
some stupid dream

that just bugs me.
