A breath, wrong, so wrong,

comes out jumbled, broken,

mistaken for words, 

stretched too long.

Spoke words, conditional, 

to which applies to none but one,

Written. Admired, so easily taken, 

reclaimed, made new,

adopted into new cycles,

respected, not lost.

What do y'all think? Its my first take at it, so its shabby. The photo is from Pinterest, but I've seen it reposted so I cannot relate it to any one person. If anyone finds the owner, please tell me so I can take it down or add credit.
