Fated

It was a light of firefly Ceases with break of day, but still in den and tunnel darkness outburst. Outsketch of city I stayed, a poor and a distuted land. Had to seek and applly for a job. But fate encroached me like weeds I Never got selected even on mare watchman job. My certificate now rot and worms feeds on it in my pouch. I feel searching a living in haystack needle. I daunt, and drown. Sorrowful enough, I go with my problem leaving siblings misery again. Haggard, then I kowtow maybe happiness would pay me a visit. But trouble shake my hands before I unfold them. I'm so alone, drowning, dying but none come to my rescue I cry without being heard, world slowly shut before me. I close and open my eyes maybe to wake up from this dream Only to realise its my real life Fated to doom, I drown and suffocate to death.
