Vast expanse of naught
the gaping maw of defeat
unjustified scorn
from others bent on deceit
undermining all
overshadowed by ego
perhaps unaware
the truth will conquer a lie
a broken soul left to die

"overshadowed by an ego". This verse has 8 syllable count. Other han that, it's all good.

Hello chrys
I have to admit that I found this a hard bite for the first few times that I read but then, and again I have to say I was fascinated by the language use and thought that everyone can relate to the theme in a way or another.
Wish all the best!!
