Sophrosyne
She is Kiera
Kind, Intelligent, Embracing, Radical, and Ambitious
Her skin is black
She is a mixture of pure honey, brown sugar, chocolate, and pain
She is a spiritual being and finds serenity in SZA and the universe
She meditates to find herself in the parts of life that are poetry
She is divine greatness
She has the world's strongest love for children
And she knows no boundaries to acquire the things she desires
But she has seen things that would make a sane man go mad
The kiss of death feeling like a cold blade against her neck
The warmth of the sun feeling like an inferno blaze against her skin
She heard beauty came from within so she cut herself to see a glimpse of her beautiful
She is a survivor
She realizes the heaviest hearts carry the biggest loads
And in order to grow you have to stop watering dead situations
So she learned to make friends with her fears and enemies with her weaknesses
And not stressing over the things she couldn’t control
Because when she becomes a diamond she’ll see why life had to put so much pressure on her
Such a pretty little bird
Sophrosyne
