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...
