tenderize.

 
    
here's    
this tiny    
fragile      
creature    
timid    
shy,
     
no hands    
could reach her    
     
self doubt    
slithers      
snakes through    
her brain    
driving deep    
those    
throes    
of her    
truest pain    
     
wrapped in    
thine own arms    
fortune settled    
she remains    
     
biting    
     
clawing    
     
ripping    
     
chewing    
     
once again    
her    
own doing    
     
repetition loves    
her constant force    
of habit    
picking at her seems    
one thread    
she'll grab it    
     
insanity requires    
a blind eye    
to repeating    
over and over    
just the same    
     
a tender soul    
is bleeding    
     
ever peculiar    
she will not    
be hidden    
     
within the    
dark    
stars shine bright    
she'll always    
glisten    
     
the sky lightens—
streak'd    
of    
cornflower blue    
     
the sun    
peeks out    
 
the day....
...starts anew.
