Life has lost its charm and shine
It's faded in recent years of mine
Dread and regret wells within me
Like a bile thick with agony.
Things have not turned out as I hoped
Perhaps I'm alone, or maybe just like most
My youthful ambitions have turned to sand
I have resigned to live on as an unremarkable man.
I have no tales or stories to regale
My time on this earth must seem limp and pale
The Gods must think me such a joke
They will harbour no festivities when I croak
An undecorated gravestone that Is my future
Here lies someone. A forgettable creature
It should not be too late to save myself
But for so many years I've known nothing else.
It's a crime against nature to live so little
So do not settle for an existence so brittle
Do what you can to inject your life with colour
And take those lessons on to many another.
