I was the one
who never loved to live
life so long
and lonely lamenting besides
...

wrestling shreds of shared hope
I once tried to end it
but it remains there somehow
thereafter I never believed in killing it...
...

A breeze through the brazen world—
Where none but the dead bodies of hope
Keep on waiting to find someone to help them cover their faces,
Where numb hands die for a soft live touch,
...

“It was a long jump, children!
No, a forceful push behind made me stumble down
An unintentional jump—yes, a jump!
It took me hours to cross
...

Don't fail me down
while keeping your word
be sure, you are sure about it all
...
