✶December
-acb.

As the weather gets colder,
I am left to warm myself up
with the burning of thoughts and distant dreams
abandoned prospect.

The blazing potential burnt to ash against my skin,
and as I do so, I can't help but wonder:
What if I had just—for a second—believed in myself?
In my thoughts and capacity, to actually make it?

But those wonder get muted by
all the insecurities and self doubts
wrapped around my neck,
with a gentleness that competes with a victory's embrace.

December's winter is upon me,
I could only hope for the warm
gentle embrace of hope.
