my poems on dedication um it's at a
0:04
different standpoint but i call it still
0:07
i burn um i hope you guys like it
0:14
they call it strength this silent
0:16
swallowing of every scream i don't have
0:19
time to release they applaud the surface
0:22
the still waters the convoys the steady
0:26
hands the current underneath is
0:28
violently pulling me under
0:31
they see a light in my eyes warm and
0:35
but it's just a fire i set inside myself
0:37
to survive the cold i am the candle
0:41
burning from both ends illuminating
0:43
rooms i never get to rest in the world
0:46
turns and i orbit with it even as my
0:49
feet drag through unseen mud i pour
0:53
myself into bottomless cups refilling
0:56
refilling never full never seen just
1:00
emptying slowly like a cracked vase
1:03
still trying to hold shape i pull at the
1:06
drain clogged with memories should have
1:08
bins and whispered promises i fed to the
1:11
silence when no one will listen this is
1:14
more than exhaustion this is erosion
1:18
stone softened by storm after storm yet
1:21
still standing because i refuse to wash
1:24
away and still every morning i rise not
1:28
because i am whole but because i
1:30
remember how i was once shattered and
1:33
stitch myself back together in the dark
1:36
this is not just dedication this is a
1:39
war against gravity itself a vow edged
1:42
into bone and breath a scream buried
1:45
inside a soft smile and even when i
1:48
vanish into all that i give i carry a
1:52
fire no storm can drown my dedication is
1:55
invisible but my determination it burns
