Refused of eternity

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

I step up to the door
Gateway to my dreams
Too afraid of slight defeat 
I hesitate to knock the door,
Hesitate too long

What could have been
But will never be
Who decides what is right
And what is wrong for me
Should I ever stop considering
All these little steps 
I take to cross a mile 
On endless plains
Time is running faster
And I doubt that I will last
Preserve the dreams
A broken mirror reflects my vanished hope
In thousand shades of gleaming light

I've tried to get a hold
got myself a goal too bold
I've tried to break the chains

I'm refused
Refused of eternity
I'm abused
Abused by reality
I'm reduced
Reduced to insanity

Reason for writing:

    trying to live on in quite desperation instead of finding a more final way to "get out"
