On looking back

On looking back

On looking back

I stand on the charred stump of time
To unravel the maze of my rusty footprints
All I see are deep furrows
Tearful furrows
Draining my once steel confidence
I see corpses of my ambitions
I see the ashes of a fire that once blazed in me
I see voracious termites gnawing at the roots of my future.

On looking back

I stand on the charred stump of time
To unravel the maze of my rusty footprints
All I see are deep furrows
Tearful furrows
Draining my once steel confidence
I see corpses of my ambitions
I see the ashes of a fire that once blazed in me
I see voracious termites gnawing at the roots of my future.

On looking back
