Image for the poem I define.

I define.

 

a sort of teetering  
on a precipice  
insight and clarity  
from tired meek  
to almost fully heard  
 
Oh to roar  
allowing for unselfish focus  
 
doubts drift  
stresses of unsure  
or insufferable insecure  
s l i p  a w a y  
 
silent bursts  
of all that's etched  
to marvel in  
hard fought, learned  
permeate from inside out  
 
i glow in raw iridescence  
a fresh breeze mixed  
with antiseptic sunshine  
 
dispelling  
desperate smoke  
of self righteous blown  
into it's very nothing  
 
my hands  
are so much stronger now  
lungs breathing surety  
bigger still,  
my genuine heart—  
swollen  
of all it's uses that certain sparkle  
 
fought in fearless and in kindness  
unleashed of wrongful burden  
 
never full of  
or fully.  
A belief in all that's just,  
found by true battle worn  
harsh, devoted effort  
and those promises,  
promises  
safely sealed within all my hallmarks  
 
.... a forever me, reminder.
