2017: the year of blossoming flowers and finely painted porcelain 

 

Drawing green globes over my sleeping eyelids 

 

Turning backs on every smile that I once knew 

 

Praying to an alter of survival and self growth 

 

My voice was given to me in 2018

 

So reach in past my rib cage and plant seeds in my heart 

 

Bring this decaying body back to life
