☆ Deadends ☆
Imagination,
A master craftsmen, painter and sculptor
All rolled into one,
Morosely paints scenes of dead ends,
Carefully crafts the finishing line
And sculpts your illusion
That sulks dejectedly and tearfully.
You believe in the obscure fantasy
You shudder in the make-believe pains,
You cry and wail,
And are ready to give up.
What is often required
Is just a little courage
To actually walk the road!
Dead ends will always be there,
But within you lights a lamp
Which shall make you push and shove
All the endings,
Transforming them
Into new beginnings!
