Effort

Tried hard to be
Who I thought I had seen,
But then I looked back,
I faded like mist away.

How I did dream
Who I could have been.
Did that dream fade
Like me that day?

I am not who I dreamed I would be,
I lost where the light had gone;
The darkness immersed my song.
This life failed always in dreams gone wrong.

Surviving is not so easy when
The darkness is so strong.
Wished frantic for light to come once more,
To dream a new love song.

The sun does shine somewhere each day,
Beads of my sweat are ready to hit the ground.
