Are you looking for it?
Does it make you glow?
Is it the very flesh under your skin,
bones holding you up,
blood
rushing
gushing though your veins?
yes. That's what it was for me too.
Bu then i misused it.
abused it.
thought I could confuse it
with something...
better?
No. Not for me anyway.
Better for someone else.
They took it away and now its dirt.
dirt on my face.
stained flesh under my skin
hollow bones tearing me down
blood
brown and muddy
gushing through my veins.
the feelings gone now.
so why would you let go of it?
Learn from others experiences?
Nah, of course not.
We have to learn for ourselves.
see for ourselves.
experience for ourselves.
wait what?
You mean that's why they call it faith?
Oh, i see.
well maybe next time you should hold on to that
******* feeling before the
forgotten fight you fought
is now fire.
burning
raging.
Yes there it is.
The glow.
But mine is different.
I don't have to look for it.
Open to interpretation.
