Analysis of The Defeat Of Life
Today is the day
Of my birthday
The life journey perseveres
However,
I have left the hopes
I have also escaped,
From all my dreams
The truth appears as a lie
Love too
As it is a game of people
Besides that
Life seems like a loan
Since it became a pain
I desired,
Just one spring in my life
To enjoy
For that
I have spent and bore
All the autumns
It is the collapse of courage
Oh, people of my world
Leave me,
To my destiny
Since I have realized
And accepted
The defeat of my life.
