Hope
You can lock a body
Count days,
Name me by a number
But a mind that dreams,
Can’t be caged
Hope is a desire that leads nowhere without action.
Hope is wishing for something
that you didn’t put the work in to achieve,
so it didn’t happen.
“This Pain”
It’s hard to bear.
So sometimes I wish,
Nobody would care.
I want to be free as a bird in the sky.
I want to become a published author
and pass on a book of advice to my daughter.
I want to be loved and give love
I’m waiting for a decision from the judge,
which could come any day,
I feel like it’s been longer than 31 and a half years,
More like forever and a day.
