Can You Hear My Heartbeat

Can you hear my heartbeat?
Its faint like I'm slowly slipping away
My life was a positive path to greatness
Now weeds are chocking the roses that indicate my path
Weeds are all over the place, and I'm losing my way

The sky had turned from blue to grey.
Is this what Life has left to offer?
cloudy days leave me yearning for the sun
cloudy days are beginning to seem normal
cloudy days oh how I wish I could see the sun rise one more time
Am I doomed of a life of being anonymous?
Does greatness elude me?
I feel like I am failing, can you catch me before the ground does?
crashing I need resuscitation
So tell me can you hear my heartbeat?

I enjoyed reading this. I love the concept of how the weeds took over. Very interesting indeed. Loved it! Always, Laura
