i want
To make something controversial,
artistic as
a fragment soul
stained with jewel-dark hues
and
i want
to leave a mark
forever-lasting as
scars on scraped knees
silver-white and silken smooth
and
i want
to be remembered
for myself alone
ink-black syllables on a stark
white page
and
not forget the phantom wings
called hope.
