Dreamed a Dream

DREAMED A DREAM 

      I dreamed an aspiring dream to glow in gorgeous gleam,
      wishing to be very special, highly intellectual.
       Had full confidence on myself.
       Goal was ahead to access, no deficiency on dedication or devotion.
      My effort whirled to spin on pivot of talent.
    
           Could not overcome hostile circumstances
           Failure more, success less, not to repent but to accept.  
                 Started as child prodigy, but devoid of proper love and care. 
                       Lacking in companion to share
                    Being a lone fighter to steer ensuing an Elegy.
       
       Prayed to be extra ordinary as my competence could deserve.
      Ultimately destined to turn just ordinary. 
       Dream diffused, drowned in deep dreary despondence.
