Dreams That Won't Come True

A girl can dream. I really want to go to college, but in my current state that is impossible. I estimate that at least ninety-five percent of my waking hours are spent engaging in OCD behaviors. It takes forever for me to say anything. I know I could never make it through the high school equivalency exam in the time allotted. I am definitely more than intelligent enough. It makes me distraught to know that this dream is unlikely to ever come true. 


I will watch others pass me by as they get their high school diplomas and start college. I already have a younger sister who will be finishing college soon, and my little brother will be starting in a couple of years. 

I believe my heart will break.
