'Facing A Foul Reality'

'Facing A Foul Reality'

A Poem by Hello, Goodbye
"

..poetry continues.. while songs are sung no more..

"

I stripped my dream naked 
And I found only a hollowness of hope 
Visions only of self deception 
An artist at the end of his rope 

And in this self reflection 
I found a sadness worse than pain 
To hold dreams of futility 
Art by failure Stained 

So I decree an end of creation 
The constant striving for the air 
Because in every attempt of lyricism 
I reap nothing but despair 


- ZeN

I absolutely loved the flow. And there was something desperate and raw in those words. Very well done, indeed.

Wow, I loved reading your beautiful poem.
The choice of words flow like a river.

This is a little sad and indeed perhaps desperate in a way because you are accepting the ineviatability of failure when success is just as likely with a little more effort on board,a nice rythum and rhyme here though you are indeed very talented.
