I Am Not As Wonderful As A Word

Folder: 
2014

I am not as wonderful as a
Word,
shifting and flickering like a
candle
tearing apart destruction and
hatred.
Push people away, it’s the only
way
to sift through the storm like it’s

flour
But then my passion erupts, it’s
beautiful
melancholy
thoughts I have that
Ignite me.
The sunshine bleeds through my
Skin
and I feel
Alive.
