Trial By Night

Trial By Night

A Poem by Zi

Like putting your hands into the fire

It's a test of strength and will

An acceptance of inevitability

When all is said and done

This is but a dream

 

Like putting your hands into the fire

It's a sign of something greater

A symbol of personal freedom

So prove it to yourself

This is but a dream

 

Like putting your hands into the fire

It's how you deal with the pain

A way to keep yourself numb

Now it feels smooth

This is but a dream

 

Like putting your hands into the fire

It's when everything feels right

A time for you to finally believe

No more second chances

This is but a dream

I like how you use the same first line for each stanza. This portrays a deep pain, I hope it gets better for you.
