Lace-Trimmed Roses
July 25, 2010
In my future
There is darkness;
An unfortunate fate I can’t deny.
In my existence
There is brilliance;
Somehow previously blind to my eye.
But when my future is no longer mysterious,
And when my stomach churns like the waves,
I come to my senses and understand
There is beauty in every thing, in every day.

Thanks!
And yeah, it definitely could have been longer :)
But I think I got out the basics...I was rushed on time and then too lazy to finish it later :3
Anyway, thank you for reading and commenting. I truly appreciate it!
If you haven't figured it out yet, this is about dying. Recently I had a mental breakdown and I *realized* that I was going to die. So now when I go outside at sunset, I can see all the beautiful things in life I didn't realize before.
Stereotypical? Yep. True? Absolutely.
