Failure (Sorrow Of A Dead Soul) Read Count : 86

Category : Poems

Sub Category : N/A

I feel as though I'm failing,

I feel failing at every turn.

I've lost all motivation, 

As I watch the world burn.

I have lost all hope

For better days,

My sense of pride

Has been washed away.

This isn't how it's supposed to be,

They say that I'm still young.

But I feel I'm a grizzled old man,

Whose time is almost done.

Perhaps I'm just succumbing 

To the pervasive sands of time.

Putting on a smile

And telling them I'm fine.

My eyes have grown hollow,

There's no spark left inside.

Only the empty vessel,

Whose spirit already died.
