Success or Disappointment?
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     I am no longer inspired
     Your actions are unadmired.
     You may think you're the same
     In your own head
     But I know the truth
     Your former self is dead.
     Lost long ago
     A memory is all that remains
     Act tough all you can
     I see deep down you're in pain
     Though some good may have come
     It's outnumbered by wrong things
     You've lost the will to fight
     Your soul can no longer cling.
     An outcast you've now become
     To those who welcomed you once.
     Redemption can only be obtained
     If you lose the front.
