The shock of broken dreams
I no longer exist
Time runs on slippery beams
Lock on chains and themes
Tongue on shard, I hissed
The shock of broken dreams
On the screen some breams
I’m a runner, didn’t get the gist
Time runs on slippery beams
Shoe on grass it gleams
I haven’t been kissed
The shock of broken dreams
The world was full of screams
In the museum I persist
Time runs on slippery beams
Nothing is permanent it seems
A story with a twist
The shock of broken dreams
Time runs on slippery beams*

Beautifully written.
If someone wrote my biography as a poem, this would be pretty accurate.
