Full of promise,
rich with hope,
so many dreams to be played out.
Endless verve,
ceaseless vigour,
full of much to shout about.

But empty words
and empty pledges,
are deeper scratched upon my heart.
What went wrong?
Where did the dreams go?
Please, mercy, let me know -
I need to learn,
to change,
to grow.

To find my way back
to the start.
