A Failed Promise by Chorismate: 11:10am On Apr 10, 2016
I wrote this poem the night I saw that I made 4.46 as my final CGPA in School. I came across it on my timeline on facebook this morning. it was a perfect time because I am undergoing difficulty in my relationship

A failed promise

why did you give me this high hope,
why did you give me false hope.
You should have left me to thread the path of mediocres all this while;
a path in which i'll live my normal gentle and naive life
Now, i'm between heaven and earth,
none to accept me; i'm an alien to both.
How will i bear this shame and heartbreak,
of dining with princes few weeks ago and now with swine.
Oh had i known, i wouldn't have listened to that spirit.
Its now a new beginning, in search of those that i'll call my own.
For i have never had true friends,
the many i had were there cos i had little success.
I'm ready to change and for changes
