Our scars burst forth
Like magical daydreams
Or shards
Of broken nightmares
Our words are broken
Soft like petals
Along the shoreline
We are lost
But will rise
Take a deep breath
And be
The light does not
Make us afraid
We are untethered
By rights
Words are our being
Dreams are sweet
Like honey briar
We bear our scars
Smile and wave
So far behind
All in front
We will be found
Like treasure on a beach
We will rise
Let the pink flesh fade.
