Time and again you betray me,
But fool that I am, I still hope.
Still dream.

Is this constant dashing of hope a penance, I wonder?
Some misdeed
I had perpetrated
In this life or before,
Is this my payment?
I cannot walk away
I am stuck here
And somehow,
I cannot convince myself to stop

Hoping.

Believing.

And every time I begin again,
You betray me.
This body is weak, it will not provide easily,
What others take for granted.
Every step forward must be fought for
Begged for
And even when progress is allowed
There is a price.

Is it worse, I wonder, to face
The betrayals
Or to pay the
Prices
That victory demands?
For every victory, there have been countless
Lost battles.

Stubborn Fool
My heart
Chooses to fight,
What life is there
With no dreams?
