Treasured

The treasure that is the future is forever. 

And uncertainty is hopeful, never. 

This weight I have captured.

That is raging in my mind for sure. 

Like a furnace releasing questions in smoke. 

That I will turn into fruitful clouds that will be unveiled from this cloak. 

So that the rains of the past can be recycled. 

And the sacrifices I have carried for so long will not be so wrathful. 

Your future is not like a paste-

You do not have to adhere to it- defiance is not a waste!
