It begins to shed...



 
And it begins to shed.
Everything;
Exuberance, Idealism, self-assuredness, and even hair.
And you realize that it is that time in your life,
when;
You are neither too old nor too young,
Neither a failure nor a success,
Neither inspiring nor inspired.
And it continues to shed.
Everything;
Patience, anticipation, self-esteem and even hair.
And you realize that it is that time in your life,
When;
Promises have already come apart,
Metaphors have lost all meaning,
Spring is just a season,
Dawn is the name of newspaper only,
And when the wait is over and the ‘Godot’ didn’t arrive.
