ALL I HAVE
My hands are
shaking, I cannot see
The paper is
fluttering, isn’t it meant to be?
My dreams
and hopes are flitting away,
Will they
float? Will they fall? My mind is at unrest
If only
there was courage and patience, it would have been the best.
The sword
remains poised, ready to strike,
My heart
yearns to see the little blue ocean.
But it
doesn’t flow, I cannot begin,
My hands are
still shaking and I still cannot see.
That
impending doom, that dark future
Those
frightening cages, it cannot be!
I need a
choice, I need an escape
Is this all
I have in me?
