Petal

Petal

Petals fall
and brush my face
I look up and see
cherry blossoms.

I have a cherry blossom
behind my ear. 
It reminds me 
of my change,
my transformation. 

From a girl
into a woman. 

Petal. 
My nickname
and something
unspoken
that saved my life.

I just heard your reading. Are you British or something?

So, it's a little funny actually. I'm a southern belle through and through but whenever I recite/read something I say it in a kinda British/English accent because it sounds better to my ears rather than me speaking normally. Because even if I do try to speak normal it winds up sounding like what you heard. I also watched a lot of British tv growing up so in everyday life I kinda have one too...unless I get angry and I sound like a southern girl through and through.

Yes I still exist

Mind's Abyss

To dream a dream
of voices long thought dead,
still they scream
and linger in my head...

Please,
hold me in your arms tonight
for my soul is fading,
devoid of light.
