The Silent Weeper

Minute by minute,I saw my preciuos existence slip away with the speed of a stupendous shooting star across a promising life...yet so unfulfilled and hollow; wasn't my birthright relinquished to an undeserved punishment and sorrow? Why wouldn't anyone be resilient and alleviate my agony and atrocious pain... to confront a stark and unfair fate? I can remember the unjustified hurt clinging to many unacceptable exscuses; and weren't there spendid dreams, flourishing amid lonely and uncertain days, wanting to ascape and become real? Years by years misfortunes made me give up all the incredible joys,of a naive boy, that I longed for desperately; I straddled to neither please life nor me, to see reality wrapped up in mystery constraining my neutral pesonality...

Looking back,with regret, on a wasted childhood that made me lame by a blunt destiny; languish and lament impoverished my sentiment: chocking me with their final,implicit word!
