This is me; so free & uninformed; Once before; so young & adored Dreams that stretched unto forever Heart that was broken through ignorance A mind that could open pandoras box The charm & heart that would seemingly never stop; Rags for clothes; rich with music; full of lyrics; poems & rants Bitter, but strong in a self indulgent land; Love conquered through waves of hurt; Building me up with all of the perks; Charm & swagger; no longer winning Little did I know; the end would be my beginning; with love transcending; this & that blending. Veins appear; new spots, new freckles & moles; with veins bursting from clots. The eyes that trap you in the night; the thoughts that silence you with stiffening fright; we wake in our deepest breath; rising embodied to see what's next.
