time ticks

as moments slip

from present

to past

our longest breaths

will never last

forever

with those

i take

i enjoy the choice

of being clever

witty thing

and many things

oh when she sings

that's when

she is her best

but not the last

best

because she still

gon' get

better

its time to prove

she really bout

that life

of self love

and healing

this shit

is grueling

this process

of grieving and

feeling

and failing

and falling

and rising

and death

of a self

who once

long ago

took a breath

before her first heartaches

there once

breathed

a girl

innocent

pure

newcomer

to this world

she grew up to feel

a lot of fucked up things

bred to be a savage

loved to be a queen

she held herself down

forever

ten toes

then she let go

began grounding

her soul

she tapped in

and tuned out

the noise

isolation required

to tame a savage

with poise

it's the discipline

she desires

this fire isn't

a toy

breathless

she leaves them

like tired little boys

playing

all day

adrenaline

joy

no thoughts

just breaths

until reality sets

there's more

than this
