I have learned three things in life. I have lost three things in life.
Faith- a curtain to hide behind, crutches to hold me up. Faith- a broken record of lies and hypocrisy, when I threw it away I could stand alone.
Hope- an intangible thing of optimistic beauty. Hope- pessimism is so much safer.
Love- promises, worries, caring, blind, deaf and dumb, not even minding. Love- remember the memories, throw away the promises, donβt cross those lines.
I now look for these three things in life.
october 2009, creative writing class assignment. can't remember the form name, of course. i like the essence of this, and few lines i'm kind of crazy about it, but it's kind of stilted in some places. i'm working on it.
