Broken promises

Truth turned lies

In a flickering moment

all was lost - ephemeral

Standing on thin ice

No light can be seen

Falling into darkness

I hoped but found none

Pain seeps under the skin

Is this reality?

Facing greater fears

Only yielded bitter tears

It was all for naught

dreams, emotions - nil

Searching endlessly

until I find solace

The place I seek

Now became ruins

Connections mislaid

Principles gone astray

Stress and anxiety -

slowly destroys entirety

Perseverance, tenacity

All resulting to nothing

“Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.” - Erol Ozan
