Completely flawless
Down to the bruises and self-inflicted wounds
This is true beauty
I can not change your course
I can not change your ways
I can only take in your splendor
And breathe in this self-fulfilling prophesy
That downpours misery
That destroys its own body for you
This is beautiful
Simply beautiful
Hey Ryan,
ReplyDeleteLove this poem. Really loved the last two lines for some reason. Maybe because it shows that the simplest lines can often be the most powerful if dropped in the right place....
Mr. D.
What, Mr. D make a rare appearance...Ryan, you woke the slumbering beast!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're still working at your craft. I gotta admit, I've allowed the blog to take a backseat to other happenings recently. With that said however, just wanted to point out that this piece is a nice progression for you. Still developing vocabulary, still mixing up your delivery. Somehow, I've got to incorporate a recording section, so we can hear your words also.
Yo RYAN!!!!! YO BRAH!!!!!
