LOST GLORY


To the world, I'm like a shadow,

sliding through unnoticed;

feeling nothing but my sorrow,

my rage burns to my fist.

To redeem myself,

oh, i have tried;

I made history from my shelf,

and my knowledge have i applied,

to the problem that plagues me the most,

which is to earn the  glory which i lost.
