Broken End

I searched for the beginning - 
to find myself at the end. 
All the things I was so sure of - 
turned out to be pretend.   

Somehow I had convinced myself-  
things would be ok.  
But all that I believed in - 
came crashing down today. 

I had even taught myself - 
nothing mattered and not to care. 
But this agony I am feeling - 
is more than I can bare.   

I’m trapped within and found without - 
no method of escape 
I’ve got nowhere to turn to-
it’s time I face my fate. 

I see no point in trying- 
to continue anymore. 
All the dreams I held so closely - 
lay broken on the floor.  

The stars which shined so brightly - 
within my evening skies.  
Have fallen from their pedestals- 
exposing only lies

Thank you for the kind comment ! I do write a lot of fiction and this piece is largely that. I typically am one of the happiest people in the room ….. but I seem to write about sorrows and struggles. Have a wonderful day !
