The Praying Mantis

well,some things never change
the order of the day is always the same
rejection,losing and hoping
hoping that maybe,just maybe
i shall be happy one day

these may be the thoughts of someone
someone sombre at heart
someone who feels the world has rejected him
and has nothing to live for
just dreams,hopes and aspirations

but it doesn't matter anywhere
because the day shall come
when i will be happy
yes,happy in a way i have never been
and nothing will matter anymore
since i will be in the land of dreams
and hopes
and having all i have always longed for
The day I shall die
