Hope

can I hope

for a better day?

I’m hanging on a little longer

I’m quite tired

of carrying my wounds

they have become too heavy to hold

and I daren’t leave them to be found

so I will bury them deep within

for  to give to another

would only fill me up with guilt

another burden to carry

I bet you enjoy 

watching me fail

it’s just more proof

that I should have stayed

and not followed my own dreams

what a shame I have returned

because you imply I am such a burden

oh, to live in denial

is a great thing in deed

for you to endlessly prove you were right

all along

but one day I will prove you wrong

and even better yet

myself
