when optimism tried to hide the truth,
unaware its difficult to sustain the froth,
especially when its no more your heyday.
I looked up, in the mirror, there was no tear,
as if it did not matter,
I moved a little closer, dig in a bit deeper
and all I could see was fear.
Life continues ,as they say ,to move on,
because of the several frills and many riders,
I continue to fight and remain a fighter,
but have lost the passion to say Rock ON !!
