JOURNAL #9 cast me for just a moment back in time and
I'll retrieve the one thing that is too precious
to lose one's very faith
faith in myself
faith in all the good things my way yet to come
faith for a reason as to why I've yet never won
you or anyone like you
just a glitch perhaps in the system's grasp
like the locket that was lost forever thanks to its
broken clasp
over all I hear in the back of my mind who cares?
all mutual respect that once was
now only despairs
of me and others like me
cactuses washed in a pool of cool rain
beautiful and safe
when all is dried up and baked
but give us water and the safety begins to wane
like popular interest in a so deserving cause......
