A Curse Poem by Adam Hollingsworth

I went down once to a river
I saw a willow tree oh so old
Burning wildly inside my mind
Seeking for old friends to be kind

The lizard king crawls inside my soul
It spoke of hope oh so bold
A cursing light that keeps you from leaving
Hope is the one thing I wish would leave me

Smoking my mind out of sights
And seeing so much more and so divine
Looking at life in sights never seen
Realizing life isn't as easy as it seems

When will hope leave my soul?
When will this curse let me go?
It keeps me alive when I want to leave
to experience the other side and see freely
