I CAN ONLY TRY

I Can Only Try

How can only try to reach the top of this mountain

but it has been forbidden.

whatever happened,-

to the one who would tell about poets

whose hands could take a pencil to the paper

and change everything?

I'm still unsure what direction to steer,-

It's so hard not knowing who will be next to fall.

The evening slips into another darkness

what must I do?

if I knew all about all of this, would that be bad, too?

I've been feeling I am running out of time

people are acting as if they have lost their minds.

I am afraid to let all of this go

we've tried it before,-

but all those painful memories kept knocking on my door.

The Queen Of Darken Dreams Poetic Lilly Emery
