Tag: fool me once

Knowing, yet not knowing

Day by day

Living as a Fool

Hope is the risk I take

Faith is a ship for Fools

And sailing onward

I go

Daring to dream

Roulette with my heart

My very life

Torn by the struggle

Raging deep within

Truth versus doubt

Who holds the upper hand?

The stakes are high

Or are they?

For what is lost

Other than pride

To surrender pride

Is no loss

At all

And there remains

the reward

Spoil to the victor

If a victor there be

If I win

I win all

If I lose

It is but pride

And pride is for fools

Written by S. C. Kim, 16 May 94

Cruel hands clutched either side and wrenched it apart

Cruel hands wrapped icy fingers about my heart

Cruel hands squeezed until my soul oozed out

Cruel hands dashed the tattered remains to the ground

And as the shattered pieces of my being lay scattered

He with the cruel hands laughed

Are all hands as cruel as his?

Written by S. C. Kim, 1989
