Beautiful Scars Poet Verse

-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
