Powerless

Samuel Potsane

I took risks with a belief.

And thousands more,

I would.

But love...

Love asks you

to risk everything

while knowing

pain is guaranteed.

That hopelessness

left me powerless.

Not all of it is bad.

It's the bad

that takes too much light.

This is a most philosophical write that requires a bit of thinking to understand. Nicely written
