colon :
so uncertain like a door
holding back the flood

semi-colon ;
schizophrenic
wants to end, but…not really

comma ,
is hope for more
knowing the future lies ahead

dash –
just trips you
takes your wallet as you walk by
while hyphen _ laughs in delight

ellipsis …
strange uncertain language
saying nothing…a stuttering stop

apostrophe ‘
wants more and more
endless desire

parenthesis ()
holds tight to it all
too possessive for its own good
like formal cousin bracket []

quotation ”
it mocks me
marks my words

exclamation !
shouts stupid in the air
and comes drunk to every party

question mark ?
so philosophical
drains the life from the air itself

period .
my confident favorite
stands strong at the back saying
that this…

this is the end.
