What went wrong?

There was a time,

When I stared at the stars,

And promised myself,

One day, I will get out of the dark.

There was a time,

Not long ago,

I knew my plans,

Would come into my future being true.

I made castles in the air,

Of imagination of the coming,

I lived with hope between my breath,

I lived with a promise not real.

Today, I look back,

And ask myself,

Where did I go wrong?

What happened?

What caused the withering storm?

And the wiser me,

Holds no promise of future,

Holds no faith in the unreal,

Embraces darkness as a crony

And says to me,

"It is just life,

It screws you, thats all!"
