Disappointment

My disappointment runs too deep

to tell in words just how I feel.

No longer planned on an even keel

the future stretches bleak and steep.

I held such idealistic hope,

treasured fondly for tomorrow

Yet, all it had for me was sorrow,

and I’m left wondering how to cope

How do I pick myself up again

to walk back to a place that spat at me.

Is there a place where I can safely flee

to lighten the load of this life’s strain?

Why can’t I find a place that’s free

of all this endless misery?
