so many nights dancing
with hopelessness
staring at these blank pages
until they fill
with these black tears
of sufferance

trust my choices
follow not these head
voices

all my pain hidden
and unspoken
without poetry
I am but broke
and broken

learn closeness
learn distance

in the places where I shine
I will help those
in need of light

in the places where I fall too shy
I will remember
all wrongs will eventually
right
