I am the shadow, and I am the light
I am the sunlight, and I am the night
I am the battle, and I am the fighter
I am the water, and I am the fire
I am a raindrop just ready to fall
I am the world, and yet…

You should never attack a poet,
we are the best at exploiting weakness.
the night you took a scalpel to my chest
& fed my heart to the stars,
you told me i could hate you

Yet naught but the barest of bones remain,
And so she dances, to soothe the pain.

You Will Not Read This
When a writer puts his soul and passion into his work.

It is a rather sad fact, but a truth nonetheless.
For the simple emotions conveyed in just a few words,

There is no depth of the heart, nor a single thought spared.
For the effort placed into a piece that forgoes the winning edge,
For a hint of true meaning.
You will not read this piece and I will not expect you to.
