Dangerous Wishes VII
There is, undoubtedly, a reason why I don't experience the escape that I far too often wish for...
One of these days...
Desire, will at last, be my doom‐
whether defined, or denied...
What difference does it make?
Whether I die to myself, by myself, or from myself...
Death is Death–
Oh...
please, forgive my speech, or not...
it is so, that I can only say that I used to care-
This love‐less language is a reflection of my heart...
or at least, what used to be‐
what now is simply a representation of apathy.
I'm almost certain of what will be the end of me...
I don't have anything left to care about how it all comes to be‐
one of these Dangerous Wishes will eventually come to reality...
I can only hope that it will be the last one that list that finally comes to be.
But even uglier than what I write here,
the doubt that remains unspoken...
my refusal to "get my hopes up"
the hatred that reflects from the mirror...
or how every night I burn this list,
only to re-write it the following morning‐
my most Dangerous Wishes—
Which of these desires will, at last, be my doom?...

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
