Determined, Defeatist

Beneath the veil of morning's grey, 

Where dreams of night have fled away, 

I stand alone, with heavy heart, 

As daybreak tears my hopes apart.


The anger fades to quiet despair, 

A silent anthem in the air, 

With every effort to find my muse, 

It's the fear of loss that I choose.


The colors of life, so dull and spent, 

In shades of sorrow, my spirit's bent, 

A quest for meaning, now feels in vain, 

As I dance with shadows in the rain.


Through the viewfinder, scenes stay the same, 

A world indifferent to my name, 

No spark of joy to light the dark, 

Just the echo of a question mark.


I walk the path of the least resistance, 

Embracing failure with persistence, 

A photographer's eye, now clouded by doubt,

Capturing moments of a life sold out.


May this lens find truth in the pain, 

A portrait of loss, not taken in vain, 

For in this gallery of sunken dreams, 

A silent victory, or so it seems.
