Fragments of Broken Path

With losing shine in my eyes,
They asked me "how am I doing in my life?"
What I tell them, how I live,
With emotions of fear and regret,
Wishing things that I had done,
Or maybe things I would have not done,
They ask me "how am I doing in my life?",
I have no answers to tell,
I wonder if I will ever have something to spell,
With emptiness before my eyes,
With sky as hollow as an empty shell,
With earth shaking beneath my legs,
What I tell, which path I chose,
That lead me to a ending road,
With passion and hope in my heart,
I had rejected everyone's advice,
Now I'm here with nothing in my hand,
Only experience of failures in my bag,
I stand here with nowhere to go,
A restless mind and anxious heart,
I stand here with no hope for future,
Living like a lifeless robot, ready to see the dump yard,
And they ask "How am I doing in my life?"
