I cried myself a river. (I dug myself a hole.)
I built myself a bridge. (I found myself a ladder.)
I was told to cross. (I was told to climb.)
I walked halfway. (I climbed halfway.)
Now I Jump.

They say that you can do whatever you want
If you just believe.
But what they don't tell you
Is what you'll need.
Hopes are nothing
If you don't reach them.
I may seem
Pessimistic
But it's true.
How did you get
Here?
With what you have.
How did you get it?
With the same thing keeping you from getting
Your Dreams.
Your Hopes.
Your Wishes.
Good luck, friend.
Good luck.

Sometimes memories leak from the corners of my eyes
And slip down my cheeks.
Just like the rain from Skies.
Hazel Hirsch Sep 2015
Tears,
Words,
Stories,
Memories;
Sometimes--
They run from my eyes,
And down my cheeks,
And off my chin,
And fall on their face.
On the cold
Cement.
Their story Over,
But not Forgotten.
They tell tales
A Broken
Can't speak.
Stories no one should recount.
More powerful than laughter;
Stronger than steel.

Not everything is ever as it seems.
