Combustion Cycle

The morning dew is shaping my existence Cold doesn’t describe the darkness of this place The streets here aren’t lined with gold Creating new wounds, pouring salt into the old Eat me, rip me open and apart You’re like watching a vulture working hard to perfect his art If we burst into flames, it’s to reshape our existence I can go it alone while you worship resistance

I like the last line of resiliance 'I can...'. The character sounds so distressed and hurt with the words you used - especially 'Eat me, rip me open and apart'. These short words really jab and express her pain. That's why her decision to take a stand is uplifting. Thanks for your poem.
