The Saddest Day Poem by Barry Middleton

The day you realize,
that you must take the fall,
and give up on your dreams,
is the saddest day of all.

The time will finally come,
you cannot live on lies,
you see the setting sun,
it comes as no surprise.

And yet there is relief,
your struggle disappears,
for just outside your door,
a breeze removes your fears.

Then silence of the night,
will conquer every care.
Surrender of the soul,
will find the final stair.
