Passion

Passion I am
Indelible
I was thus
Before
"The thing that happened "
And so
Forever
I will be
In spite of this
Even more so
Because of it
Essence not dulled
Soul's flame
Passion's flower
Yes, we struggle
But you can never have me
That which is my core
Unquenched. Bright.
I will never go back
To the dead walking
I know
Who and what I am
Scrape my soul raw
Against life's broken shards
And in the bleeding
LIFE
UNCOMPROMISED
