Defiant
I will sit in silence...
feel your warmth...
the spice of life
cinnamon and sugar...
the bark of the tree
no longer lingers...
with an orange in her
pocket there she will
peel...so scarce...
today without share...
lemons lemons everywhere
not a drop to quell this thirst...
sunshine on my shoulder
without shade I tend burn
she could fall into
her mirror...
drink tea and fairy cakes...
...grab her top hat...
...not her style...
she'll stand firm with
her subject...forgive herself
allow her mind to float
elsewhere...
she'll study the spine of
wind in willows her memory
fondly recalls...
for in her life stress levels
rise...her mindset scrambles
for the positive...once more...
she has no one but herself
to blame...her passion
unleashed runs rife...
...she has to now work
twice as hard to relieve
this life of strife...
suddenly...reality hits...
in minds eye a plump plum
before her...
she laughs out loud...
melody of acceptance...rings
we rebuild what we have
done...now the big fix we bring...
life is not simple...the choices
determine our fate...
but for risk what a miserable
boring existence we ourselves
forsake...
...it won't fall from the sky...
character strengthened...
only from real life...
...this truth is my truth...
not plagiarized...
I won't reach for a rosary
my direct line will suffice...
this thing I've done...
was great...greater things
to come from self sacrifice...
the faith the believing
in oneself is the essence
of my healing...
