&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t let anyone ever make you feel like you don&rsquo;t deserve what you want.&rdquo;<br /> - Patrick Verona, 10 Things I Hate About You


I stood throughout the seasons,
waiting to be changed

 

Flowers bloomed at my feet,

their petals brushing against my calves,
but I grew no roots

 

The sun reached down

and pet my hair
with calloused hands
that did not set me ablaze

 

I watched the wind dance

to no particular rhythm
Other spectators were moved,
swaying along happily;
I could not budge

 

The harshest winter yet

found my post
Without hesitation,
its talons ripped my chest apart

 

My soul dripped onto the snow,

staining the blanket,
bidding me a soft goodbye

 

As skin went numb,

I finally felt warm
