My Karma

For miles silence reigns For years solitude, My heart is heavy My spirit low And I have a long way to go. In life's eternal journey I walk alone; The night is dark, Somewhere yonder lies my home And I must traverse many silent shores. I cannot laugh, Try as I may, I cannot bring myself to weep, My joys and woes die before they materialize. From dawn to dusk I have toiled often gathering the remnants of my broken dreams. Before a hope is built It crumbles down, Before a wish is fulfilled Frustration overwhelms me. I am helpless, I drift through life, As many a time I think to live As many a time I die!
