When your dreams are broken

By the expanses of circumstance
When you chase even their rivals of reality
And they simply look askance,
When you don't have the guts to read a sad book
Or even listen a cheesy romantic line
Because you know it'll have you crying
In a minute's time
When the stories of great strugglers
Make you wonder what's wrong with you
When the lives of those with less
Seem to speed ahead of yours
Where did the strength you thought you had
Disappear when you needed it the most
Abysses of self pity wasn't my refuge
I still hate the stench of blaming fate
Something there is that breaks me down
Each time I hear a no
Something there is despite my beliefs
That doesn't let go.
Taking it back
Letting go
Taking it back
Letting go
The cycle is sickening.
Damaging
To the belief that one can do what one loves
And live to tell the tale.
Give me something to believe in
Give me a reason beyond close ones
Give me a cause that is all my own
Give me a calling that only I can fulfil.
I swear to you
There will not be a woman more committed
There will not be a worker more determined
There will not be a child more demanding, dear God
Once I find that calling that is mine to own.
Till then we lie
Like globules of energy that sputter intermittently
Yet, for most time, go quietly about our meaningless businesses
Type type, click click
Tring tring, sign sign
Weekend, quickly to the party
Back again and lock the doors
Head to pillow, good citizens with well balanced financial portfolios
Taking safe risks and smiling incessantly
Happy, happy,
Ignoring the vast capability inside us.
