What happens when you try?
You lose and lose and lose.
Your heart fills with water,
and it drags on the floor
as a dead limb.
Words that describe the grief
darken,
shrivel,
and perish.
You tell yourself,
“Have faith, maybe next time.”
The words,
they may not feel true.
But continue to say
“Maybe next time I’ll win,
maybe next time.”
Because this
is nothing but a test
to see how strong willed
you are.
So try, and try, and try.
Until you succeed.
Whenever you feel hopeless,
like life is destined to go nowhere
but downhill,
remember the test.
Study for it
because eventually,
I promise you,
you are going
to win.
The weight of your
happiness
will no longer be
consumed
by the anvil of grief.
