Tales Of Shattered HopeA Poem by Favour AchileThe story of grief, broken dreams, and inner torment, where faith and hope feel more like curses thanWritten with tears flowing from sorrow Words pouring out from broken hearts Movements slow and steady, agonizing like
death Each breath stinging So penetrating like a knife Each thought of faith a step closer to
death Each memory like name written on grave
stones Yet still walking around freely around me The light illuminates But only on others And cast shadows on me Silent sobs in it’s darkness Screams that never broken silence Eyes that never gave detail of the pain But the hurt was written on it Only few saw it Mouth trembling at the weight of the pain Growing and choking within But never allowed to come out Dead dreams took life as nightmares Buried memories reached the light in my day
dreams The scared little me i closed up in a
closet Showed itself again in this destruction God
caused Hurt and pain resurfacing again So I’d like to ask Was his presence a blessing or a curse? The moment he came The graves opened The dead rose The hidden things lying at the sea bed,
found their way to shore The demons i sealed, broke loose Now, I’m asked to forget the death
surrounding me The ones i tried keeping from hurting me
again The ones that glare at me, even as i write And trust the one who brought the dead to
life again So I ask who’s crazy. And which is stupid? To follow he who brought all I tried to hid
to light For every soul to see He that released my demons Or i stay back and put everything back to
order I fight day and night to return everything
back to order And he fights everyday to scatter my effort I get ripped apart everyday I try picking up the pieces but he throws
them out of my hands SO what do you think i should do? Hate? Trust or Hate? I’ve faced it so many times Then, now and soon I’ve become so used to it I can’t feel no more I can’t feel pain Hurt, Love or joy Now i’m numb to everything Tell me if I should love him, Or hate him
even the more? © 2025 Favour Achile |
