What is simple in the midst of the night, Is never easy by sunrise. Doesn’t that question your heart to know; Whether the sun is capable of bleaching you clear of all passion? This was supposed to be a poem; But I don’t feel so good anymore. This was supposed to be a “Dear Diary” entry; But there is nothing dear about this entry This was supposed to be a rationale about love; But there is nothing rational about love. This was supposed to be a motivational speech; But the audience of my surroundings portray an ambiance of apathy. This was supposed to be a farewell letter; But my blood-pumping ***** cannot orchestrate a declaration of adieu. This was supposed to be a livid rant; But I cannot pinpoint the suitable syllables that have the strength to impale you such as a bullet. This was supposed to be a love letter; But I am not capable of fabricating words to exhilarate your mortalness. This was supposed to be a poem; But instead, it is a 3:48am compilation of my most vulnerable thoughts. And I question; At what age did I lose my compassion? When did my smile become so brittle? When did I become so bitter…? So brash? -Z.H.
