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
