A MOMENT OF REALITY
The harsh reality
of this moment
have kept me
on a waste land
I'm now a dune
complex
left in a
landscape
a myriad of thoughts
piercing through
my burdened soul
my hopes are
punctured
my vivid dreams
now a futile pleasure
I had envisioned
the admiring glances
in the near future
that I would be a
pathfinder whose
legacy shall stand
the taste of time
but this harsh
times have crossed
a rubicon now
I'm the haunted horse
seeking a way out
and recuperate
taste again
the sweet
side of life

in a relook,
in this line: The (hash) reality change (harsh) for hash (in two places)
I really like these lines:
seeking a way out
and recuperate
taste again
the sweet
side of life
