Acceptance


Despair for me continuously comes in waves

There exists no escape when my heart clutches me by the throat and chokes me

It is when I am howling the loudest that it seems I cannot be heard.

I never challenged why they deserted

One by one stemming an infinite line

Some I recognized. And foresaw.

Others still grate my skin raw when I relive all over again.
