My Wishes Are the Flames On My Life

Though surrounded by clouds 
of discouragement
Clouds of downfall
I want to ascend 
The upper altitudes
Till I reach present fulfilment
So far away 
Beyond the horizon
Squeezed my soul
And tunneled me down
Till I reached the limit
My wishes are the flames 
On my life that ignites as they 
burn
My candlestick is my optimism  
That's like a cordless phone 
Waiting to live
It has been my ambition
Not to pivot the see saw of  
night and day
But my anger is frozen to be 
this pivot
To talk for myself
I hate to hate
But how often has it been I 
could not hate enough..
