isolation by / force does not teach a lesson / it simply hurts deep

sometimes strength takes on / the task of appearing as / weakness in disguise

when earth is scortched / it appears dead to the eye / but new growth bursts forth

what if the trauma / of the past was only to / train for the future

hope is the beacon / of light we seek in tough times / keep going forward

a long winding road / leading to your perfection / paved with blood and tears

trees are like soldiers / at war with wind blowing hard / resolved to grow on

unconditional / the love that you deserve and / only I can give

sometimes the end is / the beginning and middle / so begin to end

when the flame flickers / don’t assume it is to die / it will burn brighter
