Disappointment

Something I wrote a long, long time ago. I hope you can relate to this, dear reader! 

Your dreams are, 

Vivid like reality and 

They are so, so far; 

They race in your mind, 

Instead of stopping, 

They continue to rewind! 

You slog all night,

You put up a good fight, 

But there's no one to see, 

To see you do your duty; 

You pay heed, 

You put passion, 

That burns brightly like fire, 

Over the thing you so dearly desire; 

You're still dreaming, 

Lost in your own little utopia, 

Until a few words, 

Transform it into a dystopia; 

You come to know, 

That the thing you crave, 

Won't be yours, 

But of someone else; 

You feel as though, 

It's all a gigantic lie; 

You feel so, so, 

Utterly destroyed; 

All the sweat you put in, 

All the love you showered in, 

All the passion you utilised in, 

Was just a waste of time; 

Now, your dreams are, 

Shattered like broken glass and, 

Will always be so, so far; 

They will always race in your mind,

Always haunt you, 

And won't stop 'til the end of your days!
