So Tired of It

Clumsily limping now

along washed-out pale beach strewn

with the bones of now futile hopes

and unrealistic dreams.

Plans so carefully planned out and mapped

now mock in skeletal silence.

Even the sand seems sad.

Where is the so-called solace of time?

Where is the worth in persevering?

When can the hurt be felt to subside

while the cruelty of loneliness rules?
