Hollow Vessel

A new day begins in my life, The days of old long since gone, The glory, happiness, the excitement, Now just old and forgotten memories, Swept under the carpet of time. A soul so vibrant with life, Now left filled with a void of darkness, His inner beast in a dream-like state, Wondering if it will ever wake, And reignite the old flames within his heart. A man who has no meaning, Who once dreamed of the skys the limit, Now a broken man with no passion, Having to succumb to an existence of a drone. Hope is one thing that he still holds, Though like a flame, it is slowly fading, One day it shall go out, and end it all, He will become nothing but, A hollow vessel.
