VAGUE WORDS THAT MAY MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU


Life in a letter

or letter in a life

like the ones in the mail

that tell me if my future will be bright

did i study hard enough

did i sacrifice enough

to reach this point

to be rejected by 

a letter

a letter that can tell me if i get to make the choices

if i get to go to the places

one must go 

to be taken seriously 

by those who received letters

telling them their futures were dim?

do the writers of these letters

know that they are the problem

or is it i

myself

that is the true problem

take the bull by the horns

take the letters by

the mail

hold fast to my courage 

can i make it if i do not have a letter?

do i let others make it if they 

do not have letters
