Poet’s notes | This is the second version. The crown cinquain.

They say,

you are unique,

that your existence means,

With faith in a G chase those dreams.

Wait but,

what if,

your existence,

even at its finest,

Will mean very little at last.

Why lie

to all.

Make all believe

their dreams can be achieved,

but then crush them to tiny bits .

You know

that we’d

be better of

doing something so small,

compared to what we keep dreaming.

It is

unkind

If it’s fated,

why the dreaming if we

need the favor of the divine

to be.
