JEREMIAD: "WILL I EVER?" BY MYLES

Will I ever find happiness

Will my face be like the evening star,

As it rises to entice the night,

Or will my face be the sun

And brighten a day without scorching it!

Will I ever smile

Show the world my discolored teeth

While I work on whitening them

As they get reflective

Though they're no mirror.

Will I ever feel the embrace

Embrace from a caring soul

As she kisses liveliness in me

While she helps me patch holes on my boat

To keep me floating.

Will I ever know what love is

Should I keep on viewing it as scam

Or should I keep on trashing it

I think I should shred it

Though I've no paper shredder!

MYLES THE MASTERPIECE ✍️

(Tales of the Spitting Pen 🖋🖋)

-Kenya

The poet persona questions if he would ever be happy in his lifetime. He wonders if he will ever experience love.
