My Scars and Ashes

Through time and night
my hands have lined
cut and scarred
with all the shards
of all the futures
I tried to build
all the dreams
that shattered
while I held them
so delicately
so delicately.

All I have is ashes
wrists seized in chains
I took on willingly
knowing
I could do no better
I could never do better
no matter how hard
I dream.
