I am the failure
who walks day by day
threw the streets
of little hope,

I am the hope lost
in millions
of trash
that torments my being,

I am who torments
the life of all
with not a way to win,
only to find loss,

I am the loss
between all of people
that little understand,
who desire my death,

I am the desire of nothing
which is lost threw life
only to find myself
in this tomb without end

I am the emptyness in the end
failed alongside my death
over with my only hope
of loss.


This poem I actually wrote in spanish first and the version in spanish is way deeper and better written than this one (I guess I write better in spanish)

I guess some or most people tend to write better in their natural language but its great anyway, I had a chance to hear the original or part and it's still great.

It turned out alright, language didn't bar away the depth of the poem really.  The reader just had to see a bit closer than the writing led them.
Maybe post the spanish one too.

I like the way each part flowed on from eachother. Very well done. You've expressed yourself well. I hope to see many more pieces from you like this. Maybe one day you can show us the Spanish version?

I think you need to start thinking better about yourself.
That's all I have to say  

là où est mon amour?
donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?
