Will over Hope

Worms crawling through my jaws

Hammer banging on my head

Every movement hurtful

 

Bulging pain in my back

Knees buckle and slack

Going around in circles

 

Hope seeping out of my soul

Eyes closing in defeat

It is hard to feel worthful

 

A ray of light on a photo frame

Lights inside me a small flame

After all this is not for null

 

I let hope seep out

But hold on to my will

No matter the toll

 

Past was painful

Possibly the future too

The present is all I have

 

So I have to be present

In this present moment

Although it is no present
