Built on a foundation of starry eyed moonbeams
Fine cracks turn to sink holes of disappointed dreams
How painful in life to realise your desires
May not come to pass however hard you conspire
Competing with mobs on this path many chose
Surrendering innocence as insecurity grows
This footpath is sidetracked with unscheduled detours
Thorns shred ambition— passion loses allure
A hopeful fast clip— click clack of heels on the street
Drowned out by— swing clomp, crutches dragging downtrodden feet
