My tears of sanity


My tears of sanity

            Grinded by hell

            Drag through bones and dust

            Continuous battles

            Thrown to the ground

           

            You stand with my heart

            Fantastic, beautiful, sane

            More than most

            Driven by courage

           

            Always there in good and bad

            Living in prime

            Shielded by heavens light

            Given a flame

           

            As I suffer

            You are given hope

            A broken mirror

            Finding who, yourself

 

            My blood frames the glass

            My pain fuels your mind

            In time we arise

            But my loss is your gain

 

            Vibrant, strong, but

            A shattered image

            Devils and angels dwell within

            But you are the right

           

            The good I have given

            When my shadow falls

            You give me color

            You give me…

           

            My tears of sanity

Hello! I'm 19 years old. I've grown a lot since a year an a half ago. I still write lots of poems just don't have much time to post them. Its over 600 but who needs count, art isn't limited by number but heart-filled effort lol. I pray everyone is doing well, thank you for those who have read my craft, liked it, commented and took time out of their day to view it. Currently I speak mainly two languages English and spanish while learning french. I'm keeping busy, GOD bless everyone and have a dazzling day. Oh that's me and my mom too in the pic if it even loads haha, feeling fresh;).
