Broken Dreams, Broken Images Poem by Kenneth R Jenkins

Torn.
Battered.
Forgotten and even cast aside
Like anything else
Or like some piece of garbage tossed
Thrown away
Tossed aside
Unreachable
Simply just unwanted.
Yet I still go on
Struggle by struggle
By broken dream by broken dream
By torn vision of hope
That glimmer of hope becoming hopeless
Then hopelessness kicks in.
But yet I keep going in spite of
What's being said around me
I still go on even in pain I
Still go on even in hopelessness
I still go on even without joy I
Still go on struggle by struggle
I still go on even so
I still go on.....
