press your palm here, over my heart. tell me my resolve has not fallen. I will rise & brush the ashes from my knees. that life was not for me. I am transcended. abandoned, that word will not stain this soul. I am red wings & reincarnation. I am a cry in the night & fresh sheets upon a new haven. the souls I have birthed will remember these days. when strength grew from my ribcage, taking root in my throat, whispering promises that I would do no less, than survive this. & all the days hereafter. press your palm here, over my heart. listen to my song.
