So this is it
This is us
This is what we have become
Fade to black, block out the light
As white oleanders float to the ground

Where’s the truth
Where’s the passion
Where’s the knowledge that I crave
Gone away its locked up tight
As if saved for a rainy day

But the day has come
Fast and fierce
As the color yields to gray
No more rainbows in the mist to find
An evil has come our way

So hold your course
And keep it steady, with silent thoughts and a word of praise
For this is it, this is what we are
And what we shall be
Will be forged in the darkness today

No more pink ribbon sighs
Or starry eyed candy
For that is lost to us now
We must look ahead to the dreary gloom
To the future ahead that awaits

So hold my hand
Clasp it tight
As we chaise the shadowed monsters away
And we shall face it together
For we must grow up this day

Because of you I laugh a little harder, smile a little more, and cry a little less
~Bella~

Good job! It makes me wonder, have you ever read the book White Oleander? I was just wondering b/c you mention them and the poem seems to apply well to the theme of the book. Keep it up!
