Elusive Dream

Another day goes by
I sit rather impatiently awaiting its bright light
Was it circumstance or plainly my tenacious misfortune?
Hundred of times for them, I tried
And each time, I felt my sobs dry
My chest starts to ache as my heart silently breaks
A melodious voice whispers my name  
The warmth of the harmony that resonates with me
Steadily I prepare my mind to be
Alas hope awaits me!
 No more room to mope
I chase after it, venturing into the kind shadows of the unknown
Deeper and deeper I go, losing my sense of direction back
Finally I'll be accepted.
××××
All my stars have gone dim
And hope has shut his lips it seems
The darkness surrounds me
It's getting so cold
I'm all alone
With no one to hold
The shackles that confine my limbs tug on tighter 
Can't cry, can't be happy
Was this the end I dreamed so dearly of?
