Sigh

He wore the best opportunity
but he took it off.

A bag of many chances
wasted and threw them all!

He bought what he learned
but his idea was not sold.

The fire in his eyes  
SHUTS! - they died in the cold.

For once he believed
that he had everything to be...

Life didn't work well
He faked...is he happy?
