Poem 3
Who can afford to be weak?
Definitely not me
Who can cry in front of others fearless?
There is no way for me once more
The journey to “my life”,
A very heavy price to pay,
I’m not walking my own path
They’ll leave me standing in the dark
Everyone I know has a date of expiration
Written in their faces with permanent marker
My heart is filled with hope
No more goodbyes,
No more short-term stays
I’ll steal the key and take it away
