Trepidations
In my golden sunken eyes
In see the future of my life
Fraught with uncertainty
A name without sanctity
I made a world of desires.
Lost along the line of fires
A dreadful isolated life,
Where I had so long survived
The showdown begins with the start
The ray of hope falling from my heart
I pray for the grave which death promises to take
The life that my destiny gave
The endless voyage ended with despair
Oscillating between hope and despair
Now I sleep in complete silence
A soul free from turbulence…
