Influenced

June 10, 2014

I am influenced.

as much try to hide, it as much as i Despise it.

i am effected.

by those around me.

Its outstanding how far I have come. From only learning what doesn't

work, what does hurt, a dozen words and abundant verbs.

I'm referring to actions.

actions.

have impacted my life and distracted me from what really matters.

my mind is tattered, battered, and bruised.

but by no means shattered.

as I've climbed ladders they break as I snake my way through.

I am shaken by coldness

coldness has a way telling your not invincible.

coldness tells you predictable. and i used to believe it. I was conceded, all but defeated, and needed a way out.

I sat there in the cold. thinking remembering all that was good and bad in my mind.

Yet i still wanted to be kind

I still wanted to love I still wanted hope.

I Learned And Learned and learned.

and with everything that i learned I earned the right to burn those memories.

not to forget but to forge it.

it.

my fire

this fire would not die or hide from any cold.

this flame changed the main purpose of life from survival to succeeding

to believe in the only thing that could be stronger then anything else.

I am fire attired with broken dreams and tired memories. I can be influenced

not because i'm weak

because i am carry everything with me
