The Hard Truth

I gaze upon a graveyard

Of dreams that have been slain

I wallow in self pity

With only myself to blame

Why was I born into

A world that is so Cruel

Where each repeated failure

Make beasts in nightmares drool

As darkness over powers

And insecurities rein

What drastic measures I might do

To escape, from all this pain

Just when all seams lost

What is this I see

A new dawn is breaking

But what does it mean

The voice of enlightenment

So calming, and kind

It speaks of truth and excitement

But will I listen this time

Dreams never die

They gather dust on a shelf

Until the hardest lesson is learned

Which is believing, in yourself
