Optimism's War
Fight.
I want you to fight.
Cling to the things you hold dear
And go to war for your idealistic reality.
The thin streams of blood on your face are nothing
To the curse passivity places on your soul.
Speak up. Reach out.
And, oh, my darling--
Fight.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
