It's become quite clear,
that loves a gift rescinded
when doubts are a given
I bleed in life
As I bleed in my words;
All over the place
And without convention or order.
I believe In love
and in a higher power
Don't believe in me.
I know the feeling
of being left out in life.
Stinging sensation
Some of the foulest things
Were conceived
In the most beautiful
Of places
The pure alpine breeze
Cooled the mechanics
Of the elimination
Of races
Verdant green
The backdrop
For reeducation
Stark Mother Russia
The denouncements
The Cossackification
White Plains
Trinity
The United Nations.
One petal left—
But the rose doesn’t cry.
On petal left—
Yet the rose still try’s.
One petal left—
But color still radiates.
Hope is what powers,
The rose,  
No matter the fate.
What would happen if
Our eternal flame went out
Would you know me then?
One breath,
At a time.
One memory,
At a time.
One word,
At a time.
That all I need—
To keep going.
I just need to try,
For one at a time.
Till I can love myself,
Not leaving myself behind.
