nine swords
nine swords
adorn my wall
taunting me with their potential
to bore through my back
carefully plotting their fall
keeping me up at night
and holding me back in life
trying to see with blurred sight
while taking on all internal strife
nine swords perched on my wall
how have i managed to collect them all?
what can i do if they happen to fall?
do i have what it takes to overhaul?
one more in my back, and I’ll be clinging to the floor
too in distress, missing necessary rest
fearing i can never settle the score

This was based on the nine of swords tarot card! May start a recurring thread of tarot card related poems :)
