Hope Is Key
The lines on my palms
Indicated the Fate
that had driven away my
Desire to breath--
Through the Life that had spoken
Words of a monster through my ears
The noise was the sound of a foul tongue
And taste was of a pungent smell
I carried a glass within my hands
until those very palms turned red
I shattered the crystals against the sand
Where they could never be found again
The wind was blowing madly about
The sound of a girl screaming for
Her mother seeped slowly
Into my soul--which was
The color of gray smoke
The emptiness of a fisherman’s basket
Reflected my hope
Every last word that
Had been poured into my heart
Was taken apart
The impeccable resistance towards
The blue sky, was what caused
Thunder to succumb to my Mind
They say letting go of the past is hard
The past is like a torn kite
Nostalgia pierces the hearts of many
But mine is the pain of sentimental regret
While my future held the key
To my past
It was hard to comprehend
Should I throw away that key
and trade it for another?
A separate ergonomic tool
Should be utilized to
Help me comprehend--
That the past is worth
Letting go of
When the future radiates
The shower of contentment
Put salt to my injuries
Grab my nerves from their settlements
Rub off my brown of its beauty
The most nonpareil way of doing this
Is to rob me of my heart--
To stab a knife through my self-reliance
The self existence
Tear apart the dirt that lies within my skin
Take away my dignity
As if it were just a drape on my shoulder
Take away my hopes
