Victim of Yesterday
My pain is pregnant with more pains
My heart is brooding again
Now and again, success slips
And my eyes are deprived sleep.

My thoughts travel hither and thither
Under the umbrella of my past
And my hope fades into obscurity
Pulling me away from safety.

It's a pity how one slip
Lead one down the drain
Left one dead and void
Like one accursed.

But we all are victims of circumstances
Broken hearts and heavy shoulders
Able to learn from past mistakes
But deprived chances to make amends.

My pain is pregnant with more pains
And my heart is brooding again
All my dreams have spirited away
Verily, I'm a victim of yesterday.
