Idealistic

Tried by exposure
Sick with existence
Remnant of my many losses
Will this follow me forever?

Stained by the failure
Spent with my striving
Could my life by cleaned of anguish?
My identity is buried

Burnt by their falsehood
Jaded with people
Cynicism lingers longer
I am not the ideal image

Drawn to the hopeful
Eager for trying
The chance to live and dream again
An optimistic man will soar!
