~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've failed, I fear, this grim charade.
I've stumbled in this masquerade -
And I hear the shadows call my name.
My shallow emptiness to blame.
This ghost light barely haunts the stage,
As thought I'm prey to the unwritten page.
Yes, I saw the me you saw today.
And I was nothing more than a cliche.

I would like to translate this poem
Yes, we all seem to be depressed today. Is it the weather or the rotten political climate That take all hope away? Very well expressed and written. Good work. Feeling better?
