Story Of My Life

Many have written,

A word or two,

The story of their life,

 I wanna write too.

I was born an ugly duckling,

But only my heart turned into a beautiful swan.

 I wish I could turn every sorrow into delirium,

With a magical wand.

I live in self pity,

Regretting the time lost,

 For I haven't done anything in life,

Which I rather boast about.

The only hope I get ,is by 

Immersing myself in books,

I fanatsize myself as one

Who has enough courage

To get mess off my hook.

 Oh why!Oh why!

 I have everything

But own nothing

 I have life.

But no essence.

 This is my world

Without any sense.
