Tangled deep within
Hallow lies
Strangling beneath vines
Of depression
I still smirk
A nonchalant smile
When strangers pass me by
Sanity not quite in tact
But I know
I'll make it
A modern day ugly duckling
Surrounded by filth
Covered with pain
Always pressing on
To face another day
Even in a world filled with oppression
I will always have
The utmost determination
I might be stuck within this swamp
Covered knee deep in my mind
But you will always
See the
Sparkle and spunk within my eyes
I'm nothing but a swamp faerie
With the thirst for life..


If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Anyways, this is great. You have my vote.
