When was the last time
You cried your heart out?
When your dreams were thick with grime?
Or when no one could even hear you shout?
Maybe yesterday? Today?
Or most probably right now.

Your hopes, in a constant state of dismay
And you, struggling to deal with it somehow.

You had built a castle,
So strong and magnificent.
And then came the waves
To create all the hustle.
Now you sit by the shore
Pondering where it was deficient.

But life is meant to be this way.
Unpredictable, unplanned.
And after all, it's just sand
Which can be moulded again into your dreamland.
