When nothing works

Dikes and Likes

By Chacha JaramilloPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

In The Valley of sadness

There’s a gift many have

But don’t care

Those are

Lucky to be blessed with

They give up with

They live up with

Funny way life

Plays you

Funny way to hide

Behind a lie

Without any aid

Like mom said

Listen to me

I know what I’m telling you

Would you please listen to me

Wouldn’t you?

I dared to challenge

What once was the rule

Now it’s just so cruel

No mercy

Just cry

And die

In the process

When it to late

To accept my life is a mess

No love nevertheless

Authentically

Honestly

A waste of emotions

It’s my recollection

Motionless

Worthless

Not even a glimpse

Of the last eclipse

The moon shy

Showed up up in the sky
