Lamentation Poem by Shanika marini Paul

Lamentation

Rating: 0.5


Lamentation
I set my goal upon my throne,
And gazed at it with glee
Then I was Young, my dream a song
My mind made up, I was to win

Worked did I, so tedious and AMBITIOUS
Setting upon victory over victory
Aiming upon my goal on the throne
Smiling as I draw nearer I was to win

Obstacles, attacks of jealousies game
Pain and torture boasting it’s fame
Age propelling aches and sprains
I still did smile, yet was I to win?

The years did visit not leaving even a tip
As it made me work to the boneDid he not realize that it was I who needed a break
I lament for now I’m 40, my only victory my son and daughter
