Mine
#WritcoPoemPrompt115
Threw out old boxes,
Regrets and photographs,
Empty pockets and lockets,
Useless thoughts and actions
Yet the sorrows clung to me
Like old friends unwilling to leave
The more I chased joy
The more the pains lingered in the vicinity
Ever ready to make me break into tears
Till one day I opened my arm and said
Come dears sorrows and pain
You are all mine and me
They reside now, somewhere in my soul
Sorrowful beside hopeful, pain along joy
They do not conquer me anymore
I have paid my dues to their ploys
