I wade through the rubble of broken dreams
lacking resolve to walk away
sitting and struggling to see what it means
when rivers of hope become barren streams
without the strength to move on today

Trying again to move on my own
pulled back by the ghosts of the crumbled frame
where my heart remains buried beneath the stone
and I fear less the ruins than I do the unknown
no matter the path it hurts just the same

^improper English, did you mean tho'

it's obvious that you have the talent and the mind set for the craft of poetry, therefore learn to limit the overusage of "I', one can gather it being first person by the initial opening and thus the continuation only makes it a filler and juvenile. Even still, I enjoyed it, it's just a huge pet peeve of mine, and could make you a far better writer without using it so much

Not sure where the 'The' came from. Certainly wasn't intended.

One step forward and two steps back,
We must keep on moving, or we shall always just be.
drinker Nice write, and a hard walk,,,good luck.
