Song of Despair

 

To reach for the stars you climb very far.

The end is hard, but the objective is clear.

You’re close to the goal, or so you hope.

The fretting feelings of worry linger.

What if, what if, I cannot reach her?

Darkness consumes, despair rises.

Failures an option, but success’s an illusion.

You reach for the stars, but fall very far.

Hope and rebirth are lost in the dark.
