Alight


Born from destruction and fire

Cruel to the bone I became

Underneath a fire raged 

But the surface was calm

Calm and peacful

Masking all the rage,

All the fire

And all the bitternness

Where it couldn't hurt anyone but me

Spilled Ink

I love the stars, the sea, and music. Poetry brings me a sense of peace and helps me find pieces of myself. Sleeping At Last is my favorite artist right now. I also love quotes and books How rare and beautiful it is that we exist
