hope

December 19, 2020

they say

hope has

feathers

maybe

that’s how

it was able

to leave me

in a dark room

with no doors

and one window

I can see

how life

leaves me

behind

I see my friends

living their lives

without me

it pains me

to think

that I will

never get better

living my life

as nothing

losing my dreams

is my

nightmare

<p>The friends that leave you behind are not your friends. But I wonder how does hope have feathers?</p>
