One Of Life’s Many Fools

Once I had dreams

of becoming someone great,

now I wonder were

they dreams of a child eight.

There were visions of acts

on life’s grand stage,

now only emptiness

and the feelings of rage.

Did I do it all wrong

maybe gone to more schools,

instead I did it my way

now one of life’s fools.
