Illusion

I breathe the air of discontent

I fail in all my goals

I walk the path that never ends

Not knowing where it goes

My hopes and dreams are buried deep

In a place that I can't find

I follow the voices only I can hear

Within my infected mind

I tell them my soul is not for sale

But yet they beckon me come

I peer into this place unknown

That's too unholy for some

What have I on earth to trade?

A failure since my birth

Even hell would turn its back

A scar upon this earth

Cursed to walk this world alone

An illusion, nothing real

Friend to me is a foreign word

Too numb to even feel

I totally loved the last stanza, So heart tugging, nicely written.

Beautiful flow and the rhymes just rolls of my tongue. A simple but deep read.
