Pastime prodigies

With passive aggressive

Purpose

Playing with my words

As though their meaning

Only comes from perspective

On the other side.

Persecution

They hang from their lips

Suffocating

In the intentions

That were stolen from my heart

But,

Perseverance

Persists

Within a soul that knows

Words have courage

Energetic buoyancy

That holds them above death

The noose around my neck

Only tightens with their grip

But loosens with my breath

For I speak truth

And the vibration from my tongue

Is stronger than any weapon

They will ever wield.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
