Loud and Clear - by Janine Euladia

loud and clear

by

Janine Euladia

My optimistic belief that...
we could last,
scares me

So pessimism sits on the other side
to catch me
when I fall

In the end
I am always very dissappointed
I don't trust myself

Though, usually it's I who ends it, I have to
I know my limitations,
I can not accept

mental deficiencies, weaknesses
such as a bad temper or the dreaded...
inability to communicate

I cannot tolerate the dark
when one can simply open their mouth
and shed light

So far you speak loud and clear
Thank you!
Maybe this time...
