desert (p)rose

[ice-9]

i face the sands of time
inhale.
Feel its sting in my lungs
and my breath stifled.
and my eyes abraded shut.
tears flow unabated
hoping to...
trying to...
struggling to...
cleanse fire created
but still i walk forward,
a scorched, shriveled shell.
bloody.
broken.
not beaten.
I will not give up.
I await the winds of change.
I am the winds of change.
epiphany
only then will the sands be my familiar.
its oppression,
but a single grain
lurking a mind's hourglass.
moving to be forgotten.

victims are never chosen.
your violation is never fragile.
the tears that roled will not be your last.
waiting is a waste of time.

Icee,
This is one that has touched me the most. I am not sure cause I relate more to it then all of them or what.
The picture you paint is very clear and strikes right into me, like a looking glass.
Thanks for a reminder. Even if you were not aware of it
------------------
If I survive this, will you still be there to hold my hand?
