Glory Days Have Passed Poem by Richard Lexus

The glory days have passed,
And now the time has come to blend in,
Every dimension of my character never lasts,
And now I live the lifestyle of a Beduoin.

Searching for a place to exist,
Wherein criticism is always constructive,
Rather than this current hostile pit,
Of laughs, jeers, and self-destruction.

Not to feel so bitter and cold,
As the sunset wheel brings the dark,
But to have a partner to cherish and hold,
And a bright future ahead, not just a promising start.

The glory days have passed alas,
My character left tattered and torn,
Criticism remains hurtful and crass,
And retained emptiness at each dawn.
