Boulevard of Broken Dreams

A dream in my eye
Not an effort too shy
To make a mark I had hoped
To conquer the world I had conjured

But then my feet froze in the cold
As unfolding before me was the story of old
I saw coming true the lurid reality I always dread
Lost on me was the path I had hoped to tread

The pain pinches me no end
My efforts are no better than castles of sand
Alas it was never about how hard I work
For never was it possible to be noticed in the dark

God give me the strength to stand
Another day to live another fight to withstand
For I still have a dream in my eye
And I don’t want to be an effort too shy

Very few people can channelize their frustrations into poetry. Come on now start feeling special :).
Hope you get the poetic justice that is missing from this poem.
