Rude Awakening

Trying to see where you are in life, but not being able to realise goals.

Everything is reached:High as Babel
Ambition the only belief
All else paralyzed below

Through darkness is light
Shining so bright
Dark, unworthy of mention-

Forget the self-inflicted
That blinds the path of hope,
For this is now Damascus

Descending down ungratefully
There to grab,
With burning desire
Until exile again.

To wake fails to waken-
The reverie
Passionate, persistent, pointless.
Unable to answer
