Ever since I have found the golden nugget,
In these abandoned lands, I have become a legend,
People treated me like some God sent,
Started scouting around the abandoned lands,
As the days passed, their patience and energy was lost,
So did their faith and respect on me as the “Golden Boy”,
They blamed me for the dreams they have dreamt,
They named me for the hopes that were broken,
I fell from a God send to Devil spawn,
My sight was treated as sign of bad luck,
All I did was to bring a shiny rock to home,
Now whole town loves me to blame,
All because of that damned Gold,
It has haunted my life even as I get old,
I bear a weight on my conscience,
Which I never deserved or asked,
So, I decided to hunt for the shiny metal,
To bring peace to the damaged “Golden Boy”,
I set out in search of it for salvation of my soul,
Repeating to myself, ”All that glitters is not Gold”.
