Talent
She had nothing left
Not a speck of light
Too withered to dream
Too hopeless to fight
Then one night
She picked up a pen
Ingesting tiny breaths
And counting to ten
The dust blew over
after the grand bowl
Cuz you can't take a shortcut
Without paying the toll
And she poured out her soul
Page after page
This girl was ignited
A heart filled with rage
A dissolving black cloud
Was what made her right
Cuz' the worthless girl you noticed?
Can secretly write!
