The Saddest of Life

The saddest day in life -

Is it when you die?

Or when life joy is dead?

Is it when you are unloved?

Or you are unable to ever love again?

Is it when your dream is unfulfilled?

Or when you no longer dream?

Is it when hope is all lost?

Or you lose yourself to hope?

The saddest day in life -

Is when you bury dreams and hope

While staying alive
