I had such promise,
I threw it away,
Such a wasted life,
Such a sunny day.
I lay in the dirt to hide
My scars, eternally banned
From joining the stars.
I cannot compete,
My language is dead,
Trampled beneath
Mediocrity's tread.
I have no love,
I have no anchor,
I have no one to stand
And fight off the rancor.
Just me alone, an army of one,
Like trying to spit,
And put out the sun.

A terribly heart rending piece, lots to read here between the lines.. If it is biographical all I can say is hold on and keep positive, if it's not then you have tremendous insight. Val x

Yes,the last two lines are as quoted,"Genius". Every piece of your work is very appealing to me. Fantastic. Lynne.
