Opposition

Flirting with oppositional screams As I grip the reins of a strangled soul Is not as simple to me as life or death Moments that are only memories flickering Like a candle that is burning out eventually the wick will be spent The last lick of the flame is what will Recapture the spirit within these windows Shining through the cracks Of this numb body shines a sober Happiness with a glass shattering World's away difference Resiliency riding by my side Is strength that I own with pride Flying overhead towards the answers As if I were jumping onto a moving train My heart thumps nervously accepting The truth will not always be what I want Making up my mind and sticking to it Is the one peak I climb to reach with gusto
