A different dream!



My heels, start, shaking! The ground, sinks lower, as the bombs, fall, on both, sides! The days, breaking! Fallen, like leaves, thrown, to the side! Family, is family! For not, one thing, altars, that, fact! Yet, I am, just me! Horrid! The taste, I escaped, as, I didn't, look back! I strive, and learn! Letting, nothing, slow me, or, even try, to hold, me back! No complexities, will, get, the best, of me! Now, I am, on track! Life, has, a way, of throwing, you shade! As time, continues on, I'll fly, with, both wings!
