Shattered Dreams

In the realm of hopes and aspirations,
Lies a graveyard of shattered dreams.
Where once the future gleamed with promise,
Now only darkness and sorrow it seems.

The path I walked was paved with vision,
Of a life filled with joy and success.
But fate had other plans in store,
Leaving me lost in a wilderness.

The dreams I held close to my heart,
Now lay broken at my feet.
The shards of hope, once shining bright,
Now dull and incomplete.

I had dreamed of love, pure and true,
A soulmate to share my life.
But the cruel hand of destiny,
Left me alone, with nothing but strife.

I had dreamed of a career, grand and fulfilling,
Making a difference in the world each day.
But the doors of opportunity slammed shut,
Leaving me to wander, lost and astray.

I had dreamed of a home, warm and inviting,
A place to build a family and grow old.
But the foundations crumbled beneath me,
Leaving me out in the cold.

Now I sit amidst the ruins,
Of all that I had planned.
The shattered dreams, once so vivid,
Now slip like sand…
