My life, their dreams

Dad dreams a soldier, will I achieve?
Mom dreams a doctor, will I achieve?

Never seen the dream I see everyday,
which at least is something, still I achieve.

Frost had two, so did I
roads to be taken, but will I achieve?

Hopes over hopes, day by day
crushing me down, till I achieve.

He wails in me, the Jerrin I know
night after night, the fear I carry, will I achieve?
