Chest

My footsteps 

Follow trails

I didn't think I'd walk down

It's a path

I didn't choose

But gladly

Accepted

Because

You know

I 

Violently 

Shoved

Away

Any 

Hope

I locked it

Into a chest

And sent it

Off to sea

In a leaking

Pirate ship

I never

Let

Myself think

About how much

I wanted that

Hope back

Never.

So if you ask me

If I would have 

Chosen

These trails I'm on

I maybe

Would cry

Unable

To express

Just 

How

Much

I wanted this

And the hope

I sent away

And I would tell you

Defintely.

That chest

Was opened 

Again

And my hopes

Flooded 

Back out 

Gushing

From the pirate ship

That I had sunk

And with the

Help of the wind

They found me

Again

And this time

I 

Locked them

In my own chest

They were 

There

To stay.

Here

A lovely seed

In

My heart

But

Everyone should know

I didn't 

Simply

Inherit

Hope.

It was 

A process

It was

A storm

Like trying to

Fall back asleep

In the midst of

An endless 

Hurricane 

And when you can

Finally sleep again

All you get

Are nightmares

I

Went through

Much.

However,

That was

The hurricane 

That

Sunk my 

Pirate ship

And two years later

My hope tumbled out again

I had

Missed it

It came to me

And buried itself

Inside

To only grow

Like the trees on the sides

Of these trails I'm on.
