my forever words and forever searching that are not, for all that you are i am not, for what you have walked away from i ran to, your nightmares are my dreams, your truth is the window of your doom, and the opening of my eye's. i have cried for you, looked for you, and hoped for you, your honor was not, what genetic life organs did you pass on, i look in the mirror and see only a reflection of me, my smile has been a life force, what has come so easy for me was hard for you, my make-up is the shadow of my pages that are writing from my passions of who i am and who i have become, forever words have become my make up.
