A Poem

Checkmate

Have you ever felt like a complete pawn?
A creature caught between good and evil,
Laughter and darkness,
Smiling between grimaces,
And hoping...
Hoping...
Unsure of the purity of hope.

I believe in hope.
I don't believe in others though.
I don't think they know what hope is.
I still smile between grimaces,
And still hoping...
Hoping...
Unsure of my stance on hope.

I sing within myself
And kick my leg up randomly at nothing but air
Only to let those of us know
That sometimes hope
Only needs a kick of life.
