Cravings... Poem by Trevor Schulte

Cravings for satisfaction
solidify my dreams
as I hold them inside
tainting their scream
I toil the times
maintaining a hopeful ambition
chained in security
sitting in vague disposition
Chances whisk their way
as I continue to fray
trusting myself
only when I pray
Where oh where is the courage
for which I strive
when can I recover
the heart that beats me alive
Must I wallow in fear
living through a career
or quit this continuous fall
with courageousness to adhere
I chisel this stoned feeling
with a hammer of a heart
shaping a fearless journey
which I choose to now impart
For no longer will I remain
in this state of shame
but will speak out with trust
that I have lit the flame
