Defeat

Today, I saw someone defeated.
His hair brown with dust,
And is dark eyes staring at the cement,
The cement ground that should have led him
Down a better path.
But it didn't.
And he knew that.

I watched him walk slowly,
Across the sidewalk in front of our white van.
And we all looked at him,
Because we knew,
We were all defeated too.

Being driven to a place to get better,
Group can change you,
And your path on the ground.

But I saw that he had already given up.
I saw him not trying
to find that better path...

For he believed
It didn't exist.

A/N Real story lol. This guy looked so miserable. His clothes were dirt stained, and his brown face was weathered with old age, and the sun that shined down on him.
