#elasticheart
Fighting for sleep,
fighting for peace.
Manic, depressive
episodes, just
to start.
Doing everything I can
just to not
fall apart.
So I can
make it another day—
wake up
with a fresh start.
Tried to reset,
tried to see,
but the future is blurred,
and I can’t believe
I’m back at square one:
the battle
of the elastic
heart.
The knives
hit harder
this time,
but I’m not afraid.
I’m not afraid
to get back up,
and show the world—
I’m not broken.
I’m not folded.
I’m not out
for the count.

*I'd never seen flowers that don't fade
Elastic hearts that don't break
Books that have never been read
Affairs sailing smooth and not wreck
Hadn't come across leaves that don't fall
persons completely worthy of my trust
someone who gets my esteems tall
exposed wrought irons that never rust
Had never known hazel eyes without tears
romance surviving without chemistry
valuable experience without years
findings of passion without mystery
Had never seen Angels out of paradise
or spoken of beauty like I speak of your eyes*
