Scars

poem by: Eireann O'Kane
Written on Feb 07, 2016 

I pick it off,
It disappears,
It’s gone now,
With all my fears

I look at the space,
Where it once was,
Do I miss it?
I do, because…

It helped me,
This hate,
This sadness,
This fate,

What now do I strive for?
I cry for?
I lie for?

It helped me,
This hole,
This secret,
This cold,

What now do I pray for?
I try for?
I why for?

I picked it off,
It disappears,
It’s gone now,
Bring back my fear.

Reminds me of that human tendency,to seek out tragedy so one can feel normal. Enjoyed!

Exactly Sun chaser...our anxieties and fears allow us to grasp for hope..therefore can one really know hope without the contrast? Just a thought..
