Integrally building up to
Break away from
Shattering negativity.
We're livid yet trying to
Peacefully fight the good fight.
No more fright
When the bloody sword is drawn.
The war is on!
No one is always right
But they're never always wrong.
Perseverance is required
To remain sacred and strong.
It takes us so long to
Painfully learn to grow and accept
Who we really are.
Loving that unordinary person.
The beauty mark in every scar.
The desperate clawing of
Change and patterns broken
Are proof of steady progress,
Which is the ultimate same,
No matter how much or how less.
Generational curses, like rusted chains
Are unlocked from less than
Scenic frames and haunting portraits
Of our tormented ancestors.
The family tree branch finally festers
And falls to the dead ground
To grow anew.
A small slew of little new blooms
Beautifully appear.
"I am finally here!"
They announce their presence.
We are them.
