June 2022 Poetry Contest: My Uncertain (yet hopeful) Future
June 30, 2022
I used to wonder where my luck lied.
For all my life, I simply denied
Whatever fortune, palms faced open,
Could fix my inside all broken.
I wanted to believe,
To never even conceive
Of a darkness, a shadow of doubt:
I’d ensure that the beginnings of hope would sprout.
