Face it
Little beautiful
Flowers
Cobalt blue
Fragile
Smashed
Dirty dew
Stars crashed
Sleeping angels
Ashamed
Black swans killed
Sunsets raped
Cruel laugh
Rusty sound
Skin
Soft and mild
Hits the ground
You keep trying
Keep going
Believing
Keep hoping
Keep searching
Crawling
Straight shoulders
Face morning

That third stanza breaks my heart. "Black swans killed." That alone makes me cry. I'm just glad there's some flicker of strength in the last stanza, albeit guarded as the voice faces morning. I try to keep moving myself. Anyway, "Face It" reflects courage. It has a strong economy of words and imagery. Really fine work.
