Restless Quest

My eyes tired,
my legs aching,
my spirit strong,
But flesh flaking.

Working hard,
Hardly eating,
My butt aches,

since the day broke,
and will be up,
till midnight's stroke.

Working on my passion,
I will not rest, 
till I reach,
the end of my quest

Only my heart knows all my secrets deep How I lost all my dreams, so golden These dreams, these alone are mine, I won't ever let their reminisces go away from me
