I Am Weak, But I Will Not Fall Willingly

I am weak

my legs quake, tired yet hopeful

I search the forest for answers

wise and worthy of its blessing

rest easy

intuition comes in waves

like the tide it has its highs and lows

and cannot be rushed

still I want

a conch to whisper secrets

gentle kisses

fill my cup

pirates pillage peace

and crush treasure

I cannot give up

my dreams are not for sale

even when

stolen and mocked

broken and defiled

wishes are kept under lock and key

and I know where

I’ll never tell

no one deserves my truth

I need a sign   

rest easy

I’ll wait 1,000 lifetimes

the forest knows

my dream 

my secrets

take my life

tighten the noose

I will not buckle

I am strong

and I will not fall willingly.
