A Bundle of Disappointments

21-09-04

Life is a bundle of disappointments,
A series of failures
Countless problems and obstacles
Barring success from ever reaching me.

You didn’t help,
With your sneering and domineering ways
I’m only a human with a heart,
Do you know how many times it broke?

I have seen the bleakness of night,
Its hours endlessly long,
While mornings sped me by
A rarity vanishing swiftly…mockingly.

Yet I linger day after day, yearning….
I want to hope, live and love,
I want to accomplish.
I want to be worthy of my wish.

But reality strikes cruelly,
Too many shackles pull me to the ground.
Will I never be free to dream as I please?
Will mistakes and failures pursue me relentlessly?
