Three TimesA Poem by Litheos Ennius TarucThree times I was promised something, Three times I was denied. I want to blame people for their insolence, For their false hopes, For their short-mindedness. I want to let my emotions run free, So that they can see That while I'm gentle in nature I too have power as deep and as mysterious as the ocean: Serene when calm, unstoppable when provoked. But I know, deep inside, that it is not their fault. I know, deep inside, that I accomplish nothing If I become the person I very dread: Insensitive, Selfish, Inconsiderate. So who am I to pass judgment? For I too am human, and I may have committed the same mistake in ways I might not even notice. Who should I blame for the unfairness bestowed on my fate? Who should I accuse for the false hopes and empty promises? Three times I asked a question, Three times I'm left unanswered.
