Pretty soon

by Yakari Gabriel   Dec 7, 2011


Pretty soon,
the time will arrive
where all this optimism
I feel will go right down the drain

again..

pretty soon,
all these hopes and dreams
that have been keeping me
alive lately
will turn into confusion and
misery
and,

I'll search for you,

in the empty part of
the heart that was
never even
whole to begin with
I'll rip and dig
and look
for faith again..

but,
I'll find nothing.

I've felt all this before,
the good never last
and happiness
is a cocktail
I can only buy
for one or two months

pretty soon,
my green grass will
dry up..

and I'll make myself
cry again every
night..

slowly falling into
the depths of
despair and
hopelessness

wishing I was more bones-
than anything else.

    ^^ Seriously? Awesome! You know how you love my stanza and have it on repeat in your head from my poem , not worth her poetry, this is now my new favorite stanza of yours that will be said over in my head! I love it! It sounds like an old fashion cliche'

    Yaki this poem is truly sad, when I read poems usually all of them relate to my life somehow and if this relates to yours I must say, having someone in your life that takes away your optimism within a matter of months is not worth staying in your life. Ive had people like that in mine , you just anticipate them walking away or leaving you finding faith again and it happens! If there are red flags those people need to go because its a sad process to go through when dealing with someone like this....

    anyways im rambling on, you know how much i adore your poetry!! I loved this piece! SOunds like a Taylor Swift song lol!
