A life
of good intentions
gives way
to one of limitations.
Loneliness
surrounds you,
in a cape of
your own making.
Trying hard
to break free,
as you know
your heart is aching.
Your efforts
will never succeed
for you know
it has been decreed
that you will
forever be a martyr,
with isolation
your able partner.
The 50 year old poet
