at the hands of an almost unsympathetic fate
I deem my near nostalgic religion
that of being late
I can not seem to please these days even me
tied to only a hope filled future that may
likely never be
but flounder in my inexhaustible dreamer's sort
of mind
ferreting from me all of today's pretty, precious
time
sweeping from my usually tireless thoughts
any remaining champion of just what's for the best!
and as I cry my miserable self
softly again to sleep
I question 'With this supposed talent am I really
so very truly blessed?'
