Charioteer

Sorry,

but inside me

I feel like failed.

My charioteer

is dragged with haughtiness

by the black horse.

The white one remains silent,

not able enough

at taking over.

Sometimes I thought

the horse was white,

but the black one was flouting me

with falling crumbs

and merciful concessions.

Where do I go

now

I should know

where to

stay?
