There are so many ways
I mourn for things
in this world
Sometimes, I cry and
pound my fist
in frustration about
the wishes I didn't get

Sometimes, I sit in silence
in the dark, contemplating
when and where
everything went wrong

Sometimes, I shift my hands
to work and craft as many
stories I could—toil takes
precedence because I hoped
to escape my roiling
thoughts for food

Sometimes, and better yet,
I close my eyes and sleep
until I wake up years into
thefuture with no memory
of what hurt me

There are so many things
which I mourn for
—things I cannot have
but the world told me
to want

I mourn for the sun
crawling through the sky
day by day—lugging
with it the time
I couldn't earn back

I mourn for the scars
from the wounds
and beatings I took
from life as well as
the loss of innocence
and ignorance of the time
I knew no strife

I mourn for the shifting needs
the dying stars of wants
I mourn for the loss
of the pieces of my soul
I can't pick up
I mourn for life
I mourn for the dead
I mourn for myself
