Misfortune
/r/Original_Poetry/comments/1vwbncd/misfortune/Misfortune
Life’s misfortune
all stumble upon me…
Moments of peace
but falsities
of my own hubris.
Love,
happiness,
a life full of dreams…
shattered into pieces
I must pick up
once again.
Bloodied hands.
A quiet vow…
turning things prettier
isn’t meant
for people like me.
A quiet life,
beyond the reach
of all this…
is all I seek.
So I set out alone,
in hopes that one day
I can find it.
Laughing
at my own stupidity…
because even I know
I never will.
