Symbols

The symbols that reside in my heart

Shatter, opening wounds from my past

I shiver and crumble, creating a rumble

That moves the earth’s core

I try to forget the pain and fear

Yet I’m coldly reminded everyday

I tried to pray all my problems away

But that day, God said no

I gave into sorrow and swallowed my pride

Why would anyone love me?

A fool and a coward who’s empty and careless

How could anyone love me?

Meticulous plans of a brighter future

Dissolve into speckles of dust

The strength that I felt, that I thought I could earn

Muddled into craters in space

You cannot take my hurt away

I am forever cursed…
