Cursed Poetry by Ashley Pentycofe

Cursed I look at you and see the sweetness

When other just see your poison I look at you and see your intentions

When other just see your failures I look at you and see the lack

When others just see your greed
Now I see what they see

Now you show who you chose to be

You have given up on the good

Taken the easy road Leaving behind the path with real potential

Looking at you with anger I still see the potential fading with each step

You toss it away like yesterday's trash

I am cursed As I stuck up for you

Others pushed you down I helped you to your feet

Still I see the light in your dark eyes

Still I am cursed with the hope

The hope of you turning back for the just life
