The American Dream.

Who actually lives it?

This idea that America is this perfect place with bright lights and opportunity is not the reality.

Leaving your family behind to find new, different challenges than the ones where you call home.

Risking everything,

Worrying,

Going to the promise land, that may not be as promising as seen on T.V.

Being even worse off than before,

Barely any money to make it by,

Long days,

Short nights,

Without any hopes of living the American Dream.

The family back at home, waiting every month for the check to come

Becoming smaller and smaller every month.

The bright futures and opportunities never coming,

This is the American Dream.
