-who I Am Now-
fathomless depth of where i long to be,
freefalling into a whisper of a moment-
pales in comparison to what once was,
fearing not the way i chose to breathe
lost in the abyss no one warned me about,
flabbergasted without reprieve as the
laughter in fields fade into willows weeping-
i am left on the horizon awaiting the phoenix;
may i rise from the ash of a tormented youth
and free myself from the angst of tomorrow
“i need tears to nourish my heart’s desire,
crave pain when nothing seems right-
for there is no need to fight the light,
i just go towards the burning ember fire”
releasing who i once was,
comprehending who i am now
