Fearsome B*****d

A Poem by Rose Downing

Everyone gets the wrong impression from this piece, and that's just fine with me!

Today the world is a fearsome b*****d. To treacherous to tread, too painful to stay here.
Walk backwards trough a minefield in a haze all to real.
I want to paint the world the color of a sad poem and fall like a tear onto your lips.
It's normal and sappy and beautiful.
But how you can rip me to shreds.
A heart extinguished and tattered.
Please gently breath my name again.
