Time Is Up

Meant for more
Settled for less
What happened to being blessed

So much pain
So much sorrow
Can only dread whats in store for tomorrow

Expectations so high
Unable to be upheld
Too much energy has been expelled

Can no longer do it
Can no longer try
Can no longer live this horrible lie

It is over
Time has run out
Never understood what the fuss was about

Steve I think you are fantastic I am new to the site and have just sat and read all your poems, you have such a talent putting feelings onto paper I felt the pain and tears flowed as everything you said is written inside my heart and head. I wish you joy and happiness......Allie
