A Snippet of Life

It was the dawn of a new year...
I was left alone without a peer.
Curse that tempting balloon
my portrayal as the buffoon!
My judgement clouded,
parents confounded.
Off the wall I fell,
I heard a yell.
The hilarity ensued,
I waged a feud.
His drunken state,
had sealed his fate.
My hatred flared!
He who dared
shall be no more!
He's off to the door
of another domain.
Family submerged in pain,
their minds are torn.
They deny I was ever born.
So ends my tale
about the fate of Dale,
and the dusk of his life.
