Broken Dreams, Broken Images
Kenneth R. Jenkins 1961 (Augusta, GA)
Torn.
Battered.
Forgotten and even cast aside
Like anything else
Or like some piece of garbage tossed
Thrown away
Tossed aside
Unreachable
Simply just unwanted.
Yet I still go on
Struggle by struggle
By broken dream by broken dream
By torn vision of hope
That glimmer of hope becoming hopeless
Then hopelessness kicks in.
But yet I keep going in spite of
What's being said around me
I still go on even in pain I
Still go on even in hopelessness
I still go on even without joy I
Still go on struggle by struggle
I still go on even so
I still go on.....
