Adventure is my passion,
Books are my escape.
This is my reality,
What happened to my fate?
Dreams overwhelm me, 
They torment me all day.
My life is filled with hopes 
That will never go away.
My spirit begins to fade
As night creeps in, 
With thoughts abounding
I'll surely never win. 
My mind is my ally, 
Yet also my greatest foe
Like the strongest weapon,
You don't fully know.
It hits me with sadness,
Taking away my fear, 
That I'll never succeed
At all these long years,
