Rewrite

Someday my body will feed the plants

that have protected me from misery

as the trees provide shelter

from the rain that tries to erase the tears clinging to my face

that I need

to prove

that I can still feel something

I should be thankful to the gods

who thought I had the strength to bear this pain

that presented me with things

that should never be classified as living nightmares

Someday I plan to open every door

in a vacant, rundown building

to symbolize how open doors

mean nothing

if no one is there to stand behind them

and celebrate the strength you gained

that allowed you to turn the ****

and find the key that someone hid

many years ago

And maybe someday

while I'm at it

I'll prove that broken dreams

only become broken if they fall on cement

and shatter

so I recommend spending your entire life

in an empty field

all by yourself protecting your dreams

the soft ground would provide security

and the loneliness

would provide serenity

And somedays may come faster than tomorrows

so I should start planning my somedays now

while there's still time

while there's still cliches that I believe

while I still have hope.
