The End of the Beginning
By: Kenneth R. Cabrieto

           Every morning I wake up,
           To find that it's still just a dream.
           Things haven't changed.
           They're still the same for me.
           This cold feeling feels as if it will eternally remain.
           People right in front of me,
           Still feel so far.
           Nothing's the same.
           I try to speak,
           But I stop short.
           Nothing I want to say,
           Can change anything.
           Everything is the same,
           And nothing better will come.
           Destiny has come to an end.
           Ground zero.
           I fear rebirth.
           Come and sit with me,
           As I ponder and end,
           To our new beginning.
