The glory days have passed, <br />And now the time has come to blend in, <br />Every dimension of my character never lasts, <br />And now I live the lifestyle of a Beduoin. <br /> <br />Searching for a place to exist, <br />Wherein criticism is always constructive, <br />Rather than this current hostile pit, <br />Of laughs, jeers, and self-destruction. <br /> <br />Not to feel so bitter and cold, <br />As the sunset wheel brings the dark, <br />But to have a partner to cherish and hold, <br />And a bright future ahead, not just a promising start. <br /> <br />The glory days have passed alas, <br />My character left tattered and torn, <br />Criticism remains hurtful and crass, <br />And retained emptiness at each dawn.<br /><br />Richard Lexus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/glory-days-have-passed/
