Disappointed!
Again I listen with a sigh
Knowing each word you utter is a lie!
A little of my soul, my inner light
Shines less bright.
Disheartened!
Disappointed!
The surprise,anticipated highs of my actions
Far exceed your muted reactions
A little of my soul, my inner light
Shines less bright
Discouraged!
Disappointed!
When those i aspire to be, show their true colours
Realisation- they are selfish not selfless - no thought for others!
A little of my soul, my inner light
Shines less bright
Despondent!
Disappointed!
When those I elected to speak what’s in my heart
Become self-indulgent- Allowing democracy to fall apart
A little of my soul, my inner light
Shines less bright
Dismayed!
Disappointed!
I’ve never ceased to be this - over and over again
Let down so often by my fellowmen
The last of my soul, my inner light
Snuffed out- as dark as night
Dispirited!
Disappointed!
As I’m let down - six feet down -( so I’m told)
Without my inner light my soul runs cold
My final words planted at my head
DISAPPOINTED is what’s read!
Disenchanted!

What a well composed poem to sum up that feeling of hope and light being worn down until it is finally put out.
Thank you - exactly the point I was hoping to communicate. Some days it just feels like that!
Ooohh I know! but for me, I need to 'get out more', as they say. I'll get me coat! lol.
