where the wild flowers grow

What am I struggling
for?

The word "freedom":
makes me want to lock myself
in a darkened room,
complete with shackles and blindfold.

Owned by wonder and spirit..
magic spell written on ancient paper,
an experimental rhyme.
Sacred heartbeat between my
bedroom eyes,
I can not write.

What am I fighting for?

Should I
confess to the sky
my apathy?
My
discouragement with their
inability to grant just one wish..
just one... JUST ONE!

I'm begging..pleading with fire,
my angry breath will leave me
no light..
In the end all I feel is
tired..and
beaten..

Was it worth it, I ask..
Was it really worth fighting for?

My bones don't want to
argue
anymore..

My
discouragement with their
inability to grant just one wish..
just one... JUST ONE!

Sometimes they do, and that's when the trouble really begins! And if the record cracks....grant...grant....grant....grant...
