Unfulfilled Potential
Resting in the dark,
soon to stir and waken
the yearnings of my heart
the walls are left still shaken
Dawn brings new life
and banishes the old
the day may yet bring more strife
May yet leave hope in the cold
Targets for the day
just another morning routine
Living according to pay
Just today; postponing the dream
The sun says it is noon
and the light does not tell lies
Shining over shadowed room
As peoples hands are tied
The day is over; Night is near
No pressure; time to live the life!
but my eyes grow sleepy here
So tired by the light
Tomorrow is another day
when ambition shall be met
For now alone I lay
So the cycle may reset
