The Prognosis of a Cure

The Prognosis of a Cure

A Poem by Kenneth Nicholas Lowe

I broke myself in two
To see what I'll become
I hurt myself, it's true
But compares to nothing that I've done

I took my first steps today
Away from the life I've known
I stood before my end
With tears and broken soul

Is it I who never let, the tides of my fate ebb
Is it me who lives in infallible dreams, till this end
Is it right that I remain numb, to my mindless hurt
Is it just to re-live the screams, of my work

Do not test my faith
For I know it's just a lie
Do not heal my pain
For this is what I desire

Does it hurt you in the dark
When your left with thoughts of me
Does it break your morning mind
When in the mirror you see me

Is it right to hate, all these things I've done
Is it a test of faith, for more that's yet to come
Is it hurting you right now, when you hear my words
Is it freedom when to take flight, or is it a curse

Will you hold me back
When I'm about to breath
Will you break my mind
When I reach the living sane

Am I a fool for hope
Riding out into a storm
Am I a living proof
Of all that's wrong

Is it god's mistake, my placement on earth
Is it the devil's revenge for all his
divine work
Is it true that I bring death, to all that's good and pure
Is it just my aching head, from trying to find a cure

I absolutely love the lines Does it break your morning mind when in the mirror you see me! That both flows fantastically and has great use of literary devices. Awesome performance! :)

I enjoyed reading this one. Your choice of words brings out a lot of emotion. This is an amazing piece.

for me its a story of a person who is heart..and who is trying to know the answer of why everything he did fail, hope is just a small part here..he cut himself in two parts only to analyse his own deeds..not to figure out what he actually is..death is near but he is not ready to go because he still wants to know the answer of his beloved...i liked it..i m not a critic so cant judge it in that sense but i enjoyed the read..thanks for sharing..:)
