Tired and Worn

I am tired and worn,
Like a bird fluttering in cage,
Or Like a puppet dancing on 
stage,

I am tired and worn,
My heart bleeds under the 
crown of my dreams,
Which with thorns, is adorned,

I am tired and worn,
Just hours ago it was dawn,
My dreams were like vibrant 
colors,
Of the rainbow,with a luminous 
glow,

But all now left is a wreakage,
And a heart waned beyond 
age,
Filled with despair and rage,

Bitter and jealous of those
Who in life like angels have 
rose,
To fulfill their dreams, with 
clever schemes,

Maybe tomorrow will be new 
day,
An ethereal ray, may,
Enlighten the way,
But tonight,
My heart is torn,
And I am tired and worn..
