Disregard for the Cynic

My disregard for the cynic 
was so deep, that I chose to
live life in a dream.
If I want flowers and soft nights, 
I'll find them.
If I want hills and herds 
of Sheep, the echo of wind 
round my body, I'll go live it.
There are aspects of life 
that are hell. And the hell we carry
round inside. 
If I want hell, I'll make my own.
And I'll fade with it, into 
soft petals of the Hawthorn.
