Why can't my life be mine?




Why can't my life be mine?
Why must it always be abdicated
to this disease?
to this particular outcome?
Why must the kingdom 
be razed to the ground
for it to matter?
Why must the walls and towers
be abandoned
as if nothing was ever there.

I want to believe.
I want to listen.
I want to share.
But why must I resign first?
Why must I be stripped bare 
and left for nothing?
Why can't my life be mine?
