Test of Time
January 16, 2011
Why, am I
the face of depression,
poster child of no blessings?
Why, am I
reality of the ones unloved,
symbol for the ones unhugged?
Why, am I
soul of the unwanted,
spirit of the hunted?
Yes, I am
fears of the always crying,
whisper of the heart always dying.
Yes, I am
gasps of the lonely, thoughtful mind,
breaths of the child left behind.
Yes, I am
leader of ideas "wrong",
low notes in the happy song.
Hope, to be
dream of a child young,
whose journey has just begun.
