Jaded

The bus ride is long, but

it only culminates my longer day

A day of shattered hopes

A day of shattered dreams

Every day I return a little less of me

A little more of them

 

With every rumor uttered a dream is dead

With every wicked stare a hope quenched

Eventually I’ll stand and say “No! Not me, not today”

Eventually I’ll give up and fade away
