depth of flight

By girlafraid

scattered
but i've got a handful
of complete accomplishments
the genius lies
where the abstract meets the concrete
clenched fist meets the glass
and the everything that i've been holding together
hits the ground
running

"how does she do it?"
but the answer is in the secret
i'm just a butterfly trying to find a place
to land
comfort is a hurricane
flickering decisions
where choices
are only
the eye of the storm
