I need peace to speak my mind,
A peace of mind to give a piece of mine
I pine to teach this.. Grief; this sign
Speaks to me each crease, each line
My cheeks have shined (for weeks at times)
Beneath the the streaks that leaked through eyes
The heat, the lies, that wreaked demise
And I've been beaten down from peaks so high
That even seraphs would seek to cry!
But...
This beast inside; at least it hides
From the weakness that I've described
For when I weep the meek will rise
Like a phoenix that I keep (my pride)
I've felt defeated; to my sweet surprise
I never won;
But at least survived.
