Hope Again~poem

Anxiety over shadows the life I should have

My dreams became fence posts to keep the anguish away.

How can I face a tomorrow when I cannot make myself free?

Am I am just a vessel with no apparent reason for existing?

In my mind I have lived a slave’s life

Slave to the desire to love, beloved, and kept in love.

Like a ruler of a thousand kingdoms

With none who really want me to be

I tried on

I must

Not sure why

But if there is a slight chance I may matter to one,

I will let that lead me to hope again.
