fortune cookie (Free verse) by the indign
i built my own fortune cookie
and it tasted just like gold.
it had perfect chocolate swirls,
and butterscotch mint furls.
it sang to me a lovely medley
within which it had hidden
a most glorious of treasures.
tales of wealth and bitter poor;
tales of stuggle and detriment;
tales of things that could not be seen,
but oh how great they taste;
tales of fighing,
stuglling upwards just to fall again;
tales of determinations that feared no deathly mountain climb;
tales that spoke of bitter days to come,
that would consume all pain;
tales of joy beyond all mirth,
triumphs too great to fully comprehend;
tales of ups, then downs, then ups again;
great tales of never ending, never stopping,
never giving in;
tales of miseries that felt like hopes,
and dreams that felt like nightmares.
this fortune rang, it rang so true.
i held it in my hand -
today, tomorrow, a year from then and back,
just like last month and the weeks to come -
i grasped, i grasp, i hold on to it so tightly.
it speaks of greatness beyond all lies,
and i'm never letting go.
i built this fortune cookie,
i bulit it all my own,
with golden times and silver dreams and platinum hopes that shall not
die.
go make your own, but don't touch mine.
i created it
all my own.
