Love Poem: Beyond My Journal

Beyond My Journal

As a hero
You become what others could not
You attempt the task 
In which you know you may never complete 
As for my spectators, please take your seats 
Because you held me 
When no other would love me 
My audience
My reader
Expendable I may seem
On this lifeless meter 
As one can see
I have become vulnerable, useless
Soulless, my finale
At your carnival, these are my excuses 
Because you held me 
When no other would love me 
I can no longer fly 
But because you see doom amongst the stars 
I shall reach once more for the skies 
It may seem pointless
But it gives them hope 
So my failure will not be a complete disaster 

“I live in triumph
My tragedy”
