Favorite Quote:
"I will survive because the fire inside of me burns brighter than the fire around me" Joshua Graham


I am one who wants and thinks the worst
I have a burnt-out heart, glass-like skin
Scarred and shattered
My brain is amputated, cut off from the rest of me

Beyond color, I live in a land of dusk
All the people in this land are strangers, strangers with helpless voices
The meaning is swirling in the sky where I cannot grasp it,
For the wind will always pull it away from me

I am trying to outrun the flock, to avoid the finest,
I want to extinguish and control the good
It is a weak force, a poor attempt
All my efforts shall soon fail

I am not the strong woman you thought I was
Cracks break along my flesh,
For I am a natural disaster
Ebbing and flowing, losing particles, losing myself

So I embark one final time into the fog
Lost forever in my land of eternal dusk
Soon I will be as grey as the mist that envelops me
Dissolving like dew in the morning sun

My teacher read random words to us and from that jumble of words I formed the lines of this poem
