Hopeful And Hopeless

For the I Am Poetry contest

 

I am hopeful and hopeless.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

I hear my mom’s guidance from heaven.

I see Timbuktu inside a ring of fire.

I want the love of Liza V.

I am hopeful and hopeless.

 

I pretend to sing in a band.

I feel the moon stalking me.

I touch humanity on the hand.

I worry that I will be forgotten.

I cry at the sight of stray animals.

I am hopeful and hopeless.

 

I understand not everything is what it seems.

I say that all organized religions are a crock.

I dream of being a novelist.

I try to make loved ones feel appreciated.

I hope that love always conquers hate.

I am hopeful and hopeless.

Implication is sharp, it cuts us , you me , we bleed
insinuation is cruel , it glazes truth, you me , we group
Institutions is mean, Theys steals youth,you me, we see
