Special Reject

Poetry of life

* Now it may take a while for some to notice your valour, Even though it has been growing true and strong.

And if there isn’t even one blue eye of justice glancing in your cell, You can still re-write an over-grieving wrong.

And it may take a while for scattered souls to ever hear the fire raging Or to wander from a saturated mind.

So there isn’t a good reason for despair, You can learn about self-care Moving closer to enchanted life.

No you really aren’t that desperate, We hardly use the word

And the earth is full of people with no questions merely floating

On a meaningful journey to discernible heaven.

Will you never see the truth.

I’m only joking.
