To Validate Myself

[knifeprty449]

Behind my eyelids, I was
eyes wide shut
heart wide open.

Now I stand tall
a tree below my waist withers against the wind.
A distinct smile across my face assures me of my integrity.

I fell once...
but... my leaves will not wither any longer.

Your face is but a blur beneath my feet,
plastered across the floor.

I now look ahead,
with a blue jay streaked across my periphery.

Before I was awake,
I had tripped on the roots of my solid foundation...

... my motivation.
