Listen
October 10, 2010
"Absurd."
and i listened.
to the weight of shame
collapsing upon my heart.
i'm just a girl with a dream.
a hole punched through my heart.
a doubtful star stamped in my eyes.
"You can't."
but yet i listened.
to the legs of failure
running freely through my veins.
"No."
again i listened.
to the volcanic burst of anger,
erupting behind my rib cage.
i can.
but yet i listened.
and now inside my talent, i forever obstain.
