My heart throbs,
Eyes sting,
With teary sobs.
Trying hard to suppress the cling,
To withdraw my palms off the fiery knobs,
But its jeers resonates - like a ring.
It echoes in my ear',
Mocking the hard work I put in,
Reviles my efforts in jeer'.
Intensified by despondent cries of my kin,
I can't place the pain-how queer ?
I think it files injury within.
Poverty is adamant - it won't leave,
Can't elude why it's here,
It homes my soul to live,
My body frails, my lifestyle austere,
I'm left with nothing to give..
Cause I gave it all !!!
And I still fall...
Reduced to nothing but a wailer,
Proud hubris extinguished from excesses.
Now I live in a trailer !!
Even my heart recesses,
Remind me that I'm a FAILURE !!!
FAILURE .....
