I like this much better. - BURN
There’s a part of me that is broken beyond repair. There’s that piece of me that is in never-ending despair. But when I look at myself in the mirror, I see strength. When I meet her eyes, I see power. I am stronger than the deadliest hurricane winds. I am as free as the wild tigers of the jungles. Nothing can keep my spirit in the ground. Nothing will beat me so far down that I will not stand. Tears are a part of who I have become. That is because I have been through the worst and came out. Judgement and ridicule for years, but I am what you fear. You fear the things I believe in, though you haven’t tried to see the beauty in them. The gifts I have are unworldly and you don’t understand. I am not to hurt you, no matter the pain you shove onto me. I am to heal and say that I forgive. But it is hard to do when you hurt me over and over without apology. Tie me up and burn me to ashes, I will not die. I will be the air you breathe, and the rain that keeps your world alive. I will shine down on you in mid-summer and grow around as nature. My life will be what you need to survive, but remember this. You burned my body and set my soul to flames. Be aware of that when it is hard to breathe and the water runs dry. And when the sun burns your skin, not as badly as you did mine. Nature will thrive and I will be the power in the tornado that rips the ground. The water that runs to the animals you will almost wipe out. I am one with the universe as you pray to your God. I am mine.
