My Curse & My Treasure Poem by Beau Bennett

My Curse & My Treasure



My Heart

My curse, and my treasure

Deeper than any ocean, yet as shallow as a cup

Stronger than any pain, yet so fragile to a word

Brighter than the sun, yet darker than Gehenna

Forgiveness

My curse! And my treasure?

Omnipotent in nature, but empty for myself

Given freely, but excepted rarely

Love

My curse, and my treasure

Enough for even you, but nothing left for me

Filling, Refreshing, Desolate, Revolting

Pain

My curse? And my treasure!

Debilitating me every day, justifies my existence

Destroys my very soul, yet keeps me from being completely empty

Life

My curse? And my treasure!
