Unrealized

Hope is a powerful thing
But it also destroys you
I cannot pray without expectation
I cannot live without desire
If my life cannot be redeemed
I still wish to know the truth
If life offers only starvation
Consume my being with fire


“We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.”  Tennessee Williams
