Hope

I hope to live a little longer.
A little longer, and a bit stronger.

Is my soul getting weak? I ask. 
But to whom? I tremble.
Souls I know, hide behind a mask - 
Dreaded, I fall and stumble.

Me? Oh, a little girl afraid of the night - 
Like Epiales it scars and haunts,
Holds on to me tight. 
Hurt, I kneel before ordeals it flaunts! 

Hypnos, Thanatos and Erebus - ain't any myth;
Come, latch on and feast like a carnivore. 
Slowly, heart burns to ashes with, 
Flames of memories, engulfing the core. 

Love always heals - but where do I find this elixir? 
Like Esther I'm choking, screaming in this bell jar!

I am no beauty, no perfection, definitely not a 'chosen one'-

Yet I hope to live a little longer...
A little longer and a bit stronger!
