REFUTED

I dreamt of growing 
As I was drowning 
life was blocked with stones
I was just a vessel that turned

Sincerity would bring love
I thought that's the rule of the world 
I leaned on opacity with unsolicited words
I chose the disgrace with no rewards
 
The nights notched me with a sharp hilt
Days kept becoming dark till I quit
The days were filled with cold and looked so gray
Sometimes cant even remember the words and the day

A piece of paper wasn't the reason 
Walked for miles with no destination 
A part of me shielded all of the harms
I searched for love in the wrong arms

I became the center of the joke
How I left my life on the nook 
I became a puppet of the show
The circus disgraced all my value

My soldiers were badly harmed
yet I sent them to combat
7 years passed 
The war yet last 

They didn't realise untill the end
How I kept losing for them
I achieved a death with no respect 
I left the battle tired and refuted 

I'm drowning yet
I accept my cruel fate
