hopeless

why do i bother?

By Stephanie HiltonPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

why do i bother?

why would i dream?

why do the clouds open for me,

and cast upon me beams

only to take them away at once

as if they never were?

suddenly the rays that brought me warmth

leave an aftermath of burns.

and the angels that may have sung

are a cacophony of sound

i have no choice but to scream

if only to drown it out.

why have a will

if there's no way?

why try for better

if it doesn't stay?

it's hopeless.
