Shattered...

 [Eighth now, a very little part about how one may feel when that person loses hope.]

Sensing defeat, I feel gloomy

All the right reasons, pointing to me

Motive fragmented and lay scattered.

Can’t take it any more, I feel Shattered...

Confessions I shouldn’t ask,

Couldn’t hide my excusable mask;

No place for courage to be gathered,

Helplessly bowing before you, I feel Shattered...

Mistakes tell me I should be ashamed,

No one else but myself to be blamed;

Never realized what could have mattered,

Thorns of regret sinking in me, I feel Shattered…

The jeopardy and the trouble, in my ears they ring,

Dawned upon me, what sufferings they bring;

I make sure everything to be heard,

Before the next time I feel shattered...
